I am Arab and i had a greek roommate he is more than a roommate he is a brother to me. we dedicated last Sunday of each month to dine out with our girlfriends but trying different cuisine and made our ( Arabic and Greek cuisines ) at the bottom of our list. we ended up saying to each other " why we been to hell if we are already living in heaven" respect to all but truth can hurts sometimes :)

[@kingstea1]

as a greek my self. the Food network needs to put a greek cooking show on with a greek host and Akis would be perfect. they have latin, indian, italian, southern american. but no greek... hmmm! we want Akis food network! You hear me, Malakas!!!

I'm Mexican but my uncle is Greek. When i was a kid, I loved to tag along with him to all his family get togethers because I was in love with this dish. It stuck with me all throughout the years. Honestly, i would take it over lasagna any day.

Hey Akis, I am a British 🇬🇧 Ghanaian 🇬🇭 but also a self proclaimed honorary Greek 🇬🇷 with the amount of Greek friends I have, and food I have eaten. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe, I've been impressing people with it since I found it 2/3 years ago so, my brother ευχαριστώ!! 🙌🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿 P. S your unique accent and energy are what make this video what it is, you need to do more!!!

And Pizza is originally from Ancient Greece so we are even ;)

[@zealeau]

GANGLANDIC EMPIRE Well the ancient Greeks had Pizza long before Marco Polo ever lived ...they just did not called it like this ..you know its not a difficuly dish to make neither do you need much fantasy or creation to do it .. as for the Spagetti , i do not know anything about it, however Chinese are having Noodles are you maybe referring to this ?

[@zealeau]

GANGLANDIC EMPIRE Common man .. you are so funny " ancient greeks never had an ethnic cuisine of their own.they hunted and killed to survive.they were primitive " Its funny to call the ancient Greeks primitive...either you did not went to school ever you are a troll Actually you are making a Fool of yourself here ... just google " hippocrates about nutrition " Its something the Greeks had already in 400BC ... Can you show me something HISTORICAL ACCURATE ,older than 400 BC? You know ...Hippocrates is just one simple dude of Medicine i doubt you even know him ...but its never too late to start educating yourself

Thank you Akis the kids just cleaned their plates and said it’s just as nice as yiayias :) Turned out beautiful xxx

It is amazing how Egyptian Cuisine is inspired by Greek and Turks cuisine and vice versa ! This dish we call "pasta with beshamel" here in Egypt .. it is very Famous traditional dish here!

[@jackie5918]

it can't be traditional anywhere in the middle east, as far as Bechamel is a European thing. It is Greek/italian btw, it has nothing to do with Turkish cuisine (also middle eastern)

[@beerbread]

Back in the '70's I worked across the street from a Greek family restaurant. Of all the fabulous food, this was my favorite. I've made a few different recipes, but it was never as good, the cheese was off. Will try this cheese combination. It's the best food ever,

[@kourtourafi]

Pasticcio (AKA Pastichio - Παστίτσιο in Greek) is maybe the most favorite dish in Greece, especially among children, teenagers and pasta lovers of all ages. Akis has strayed a little bit from the standard recipe 'enhancing' the pasta with feta cheese, but that's actually pretty clever, since I've always thought the pasta layer to be a little 'flat' flavorwise. Of course, feta cheese has a salty, sort of tangy flavor, which might not be well liked by everybody, but one might well use some other, sweeter and smoother type of cheese (Gruyère or even Parmesan).

[@GK-gc9cv]

Problem is that generation didn't measure anything. They couldn't tell you the recipe if they wanted to. I have my yiayia's pastitio recipe and I made it a few weeks ago and it was really good but not as good as hers.

[@evaangie2429]

This is the best recepi ever. You are an amazing chef. Thank you!

[@robertc7892]

Hey Akis! Just watched over a dozen of your videos yesterday and this one reminded me of the best pastitsio I ate last summer in Thassos, at Psili Ammos. Today I woke up and went shopping for ingredients and followed your recipe. Although it took 2 and a half hours to make... It just made me feel great and made me feel like I was on the beach in Greece under the great pine tree. All the best from Romania!

[@akispetretzikisen]

wow!!! such an honour for me your comment!!! thanks!

[@paulocastrogarrido3499]

@@giannisb2721 we have many baked dishes, but nothing typically Portuguese with pasta. Our most famous tray treat is "bacalhau com natas" (codfish with cream), not fresh cod, and with meat we have "arroz de pato" (rice with pulled duck). Both very nice.

[@giannisb2721]

@@paulocastrogarrido3499 In Greece we have many pasta dishes, possibly thanks to venetians and Genovese who occupied and colonized most of the country in many parts of history, as well as naval communications between the two countries. if you google "hilopites", "Krytharaki", "makarounes" or "Gogkes" you will see ingredients and dishes very similar to italian pasta
