Most of the desserts you tried were syrupy. I'm Greek and not a fan of the syrupy desserts except my Mom's, because she didn't overdo it on the sugar or honey (as most store bought ones are very sweet. IMO, with Baklava and most syrupy desserts, I prefer them served with a scoop of ice cream. Sounds crazy but the ice cream offsets all that syrup.
i feel like they gave you all the desserts cold. They need to be warm. Galaktoboureko cold is like three day old mash
I smell the comments before even the video begins so here we are:
1. Baklava – Shared with Turkish, Lebanese, Balkan, Middle Eastern cuisines, claimed mostly to be of Turkish or Assyrian origin. Greek has it's own version.
2. Portokalopita – Greek origin dish, the name itself means orange pie, it is not shared in other cuisine.
3. Galaktoboureko – Byzante origin dish, filo was added on it during Ottoman era.
4. Koulouri – Street food ring bread. Originated from the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople, it was adapted by Ottoman Empire as a street food as well. The modern day Turkish simit of Istanbul is most likely inspiped by the Byzantine koulouri.
had a coffee baclava best one the bitterness toned down sweet bomb
I cannot eat baklava due to a walnut allergy, but I remember it being great. But darn, portokalopita is just out of heaven.
Nothing is Turkish. Everything in Turkish culture / kitchen is cultural appropriation from different cultures.
i know its no ones fault but it pains me to see all these desserts. They dont look as they intended to, neither fresh, nor tender. If you liked those, imagine trying actual yiayia desserts
None of these are hellenic
i love the blonde lady's energy! it's a pleasure to watch her
You just have to taste galactoboureko while warm. It is devine. Fun fact it is also the best remedy for hangover along with the cream bougatsa.
Baklavas (Μπακλαβάς) = Koptoplakous (Κοπτοπλακούς) in ancient Greece. Btw we may use a Turkish name but the origin is Greek 1000%
Proof that Greek food is famous 😶
Koulouri with Nutella?????????????????
I had to laugh when one of them said everyone likes baclava. I actually don't like it. It's too cloying.
Portokalopita(orange pie),is somewhat recent right? 80's maybe?
7:12 indeed this "choco koulouri" it's not traditional. It "popped up" in some grand bakeries, in big cities of Greece, a few decades ago, and it became a trend immediately. It's not "breadlike" bagel as in the classic sesame "κουλουρι” version but more like "canoli" as if it's a fried crunchy crust, like "δίπλες" (fried layers of dough with honey and nuts)
I am away from Athens and I had completely forgotten about it. Thank you for reminding me of this super caloric "goodness" 😊
GALAKTOBOURIKO IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE
HOW did you miss karidopita? 🙁
Real Baklava has to have honey pistachios and walnuts. A lovely beverage is a great accompaniment like Turkish coffee 😊
Saifa is an absolute goddess 🤤
Baklava is a 3500-year-old dessert that was eaten in Crete (Minoan period 3500-1500 BC). In fact, a recipe by Chrysippus has survived.
The dessert was called Gastrin or koptoplakous.
The recipe of the famous expert in gastronomy, the ancient Greek sage Chrysippus, was preserved by the Athenian Deipnosophist, in his monumental work <Deipnosophistai>.
Koulouri is usually served with cheese. It's not a dessert.
If you come up to greece tell me,white fleece handsome*
baklava is not greek
Imagine pairing almost all of the above sweets with vanilla ice cream
