Pistachio Baklava
Hey everyone, it’s been a while but I have a few videos coming up.
Today I’m showing you how I make Baklava.
Who doesn’t love baklava?
I have never l posted this before, as I could never get it quite right.
My pastry always curled once the syrup was on. And it looked awful.
So I asked a question on Turkish Food Travel (a brilliant page on RUclips) and she explained why she uses hot syrup, not cold. So I tried it and it is the best baklava I’ve ever made. And contrary to popular belief it does stay crispy.
This is also a really easy recipe thanks to the easy buttering method; which I first saw Maureen Abood do.
Enjoy :)

Hi everyone, I’ve been so busy with work I haven’t made many videos lately. But I’m going to try and do some for you. The sound is a bit muffled, I think my phone is on the way out, so apologies for that. But I have a new phone due any day. This recipe is stuffed aubergines with a mince meat sauce and bechamel sauce. It really is delicious. I hope you like it. #comfortfood #greek #aubergines Se...
Zhoug/ Zoog - Green Chilli Sauce

So I decided to make zhoug, a green chilli sauce from the Middle East. It is absolutely delicious. I am always wary of posting recipes that I am not familiar with. But I liked it a lot so decided to post it. I hope it is authentic, but if I have done something wrong, please tell me nicely. I hope you enjoy this recipe :) Ingredients - 3 green chillis 3 garlic cloves 60g coriander 3 tsp lemon ju...
Eliopita - Cyprus Olive Cake
Просмотров 3,5 тыс.3 года назад
This is eliopita a delicious Cyprus olive cake. It can be made as a bread, which I also do. But the cake version is much quicker to put together. And very tasty. Many people add sesame seeds to this, but I add sunflower seeds and they add a nice crunch. I think this is vegan, if you grease the tin with plant based butter or oil. Enjoy the video, even though my voice over sounds a bit muffled in...
Youvetsi - ultimate comfort food
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 года назад
So youvetsi is my favourite pasta dish. This is a slow cooked lamb casserole with orzo pasta. The meat here is so tender. It’s summer here in London, but the weather was so miserable I had a craving for this! I do just want to say a couple of things, when I talk about browning the meat, I rarely brown meat, I honestly don’t think it makes much difference. But if you want to then you should. Als...
Tomato Gemista - perfect summer food
Просмотров 2533 года назад
Greek stuffed tomatoes. This is the vegetarian/ vegan version. There are so many different ways of making gemista. Pre cook the filling or don’t pre cook the filling. Stove top or oven. Which herbs to use. The biggest thing for me is the rice used. I am not a fan of the short grain rice in gemista or koupepia/ dolmades. I like my rice to have bite. And you don’t get that with short grain or med...
Gigantes Beans - Greek Beans - Vegan V2
Просмотров 3863 года назад
So many different ways to make these. But this is my favourite method. On the stove top low and slow. But you can prepare this the same way and cook it in the oven at 170c fan, covered for 1 hour. You can then decide if you want to uncover and cook for a bit longer. The other option is cook everything except the beans on a high heat until the sauce is ready, then add the beans and simmer for 30...
Lamb Tava - Cypriot Baked Lamb
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.3 года назад
Lamb Tava is a classic Cypriot dish. Similar versions can be found in Greece and Turkey. Tava refers to the clay pot the dish is traditionally cooked in. There are different variations on this dish some make it with rice instead of potatoes and some make it with rice and potatoes. I just use potatoes. Cumin and cinnamon are traditionally used in this recipe. Some people don’t use cinnamon in th...
Halloumi Pies
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.3 года назад
Hello :) Halloumi pies, halloumi bourekia, whatever you want to call them, are absolutely delicious. Traditionally these would be smaller and would be fried. But I’m not a fan of deep frying. So I made a kourou style pastry and baked them in the oven. They are so delicious. Apologies for the shadow of my head keep bobbing up and down in the video! I need to work on that! #cyprus #pies #halloumi...
Cypriot Chicken & Halloumi Pasta
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.3 года назад
Hello, this traditional village style dish is so comforting. Some people will heave at the idea of dried mint in pasta. But in Cyprus it is very common. And it really does work. My yiayia used to make this dish when we were younger. I love dishes that bring back happy memories. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. #pasta #cyprus #comfortfood Music: Stranger Danger by Francis Preve Serves 3-4 In...
Koupepia - Cypriot Stuffed Vine Leaves
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
Koupepia Hello :) today I’m going to show you the Cypriot version for dolmades, they are called koupepia. This is my yiayia’s recipe, most Cypriot koupepia have the same ingredients though. I have changed one thing, and added pine nuts, I love the texture they give. So even though they aren’t a traditional ingredient I really think they work. I’m using long grain rice because it’s how we have a...
Tabbouleh ‘Style’ Salad
Просмотров 763 года назад
Hello, this recipe is inspired by tabbouleh salad. I was careful not to call it tabbouleh as I know it is not a traditional tabbouleh, and I don’t want to offend any Lebanese viewers. It’s always hard when you’re doing food from someone else’s culture, but hopefully people see it as a compliment to their culture that I want to make something from it, even if I have modified it. It’s not traditi...
Chicken Tagine
Просмотров 1523 года назад
Hello :) in the video for this, I called it chicken tagine, technically it isn’t a tagine as it is not cooked in a tagine pot. So if I have offended any Moroccan viewers I apologise :) I should have said tagine style. I’m pretty sure most of the flavours I used can be used in a tagine. But either way, I hope you enjoy this Moroccan inspired stew. I have been using this recipe for years, I have ...

@ can’t wait to try this recipe ✨🫶✨thank you
Thank u
This looks amazing, I wunder if I can turn it to keto bread to, sure will try
@@corinaoffermans2729 good luck :)
Good vid except for the loud music. Most ppl don't need to add annoying music, but they still do.
super excited to try this, great video!!
❤ Thank you for this. Tomorrow I plan to make it and have it with Lamb Shish kebab & Seasoned cous cous.
Can't wait to try ❤
Why don’t you add the recipe in the description?
That was in the early days of posting videos, I didn’t put the recipes on then. I will add it now
Nicely presented, thank you x
You’re welcome :)
I made these delicious Flaounes last year and again this year. I cannot emphasise just how delicious & yummy they are. Thank you
Thank you so much, that means a lot. I don’t post very much these days. But I still love receiving feedback like this. ❤️
Σας ευχαριστώ για την υπεροχη σας συνταγη.. τις εχω φτιαξη την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα.. της Τυρινής.. και ηταν φανταστικες! Θα χαρω να δω.. και άλλες καινουργιες συνταγες απο εσας!🌷👏🌺😘🌺
Cool liked and subbed. Thanks 😊
I’m curious about the addition of orange juice. It seems counterintuitive as it’s a savoury cake
I can’t really explain, it’s how we’ve always made it. A lot of savoury Cypriot pastries have orange juice in the mix. I think it’s more of a background note than a prominent flavour.
Orange juice in these recipes is like coffee in chocolate cakes. It really boosts the taste.
👌💥💥💥💥💥
Thank you :)
I do your Yiayia's recipe often ( my family love it ) ..thank u
Thank you so much, I’m glad the family love it 🥰
Looks great
Thank you :)
tryin this tonite, will update
How was it?
I did not have honey I substituted with corn syrup..., my kids are picky eaters but we all loved this recipe will be added to the dinner rotation. Thank you for posting 😊😊
@@kingaguerra257 I’m glad you all liked it :)
Garlic sauce next
Looking good 👍
I made many years ago. I thought I used some type of liquor on them? 🤔
I think some people might use cognac in it. But I never have 😊
What can l use instead of orange juice TIA
Some people use fizzy orange like Fanta instead of juice. But sprite is also used. If you don’t like anything like that you could use sparkling water.
Your klimatifilla are out of a jar. Definitely not traditionally Cypriot. We have vines in our garden and cut the leaves regularly to make koubebia whenever we want. They freeze well too! Jarred leaves don't taste as nice and you're supposed to cook the meat first before you roll them and cook them.
Who defines what tradition is? My yiayia never cooked the filling. So for me this is traditional, and you will find many Cypriot who don’t cook the filling. As for the leaves, I live in London without a garden so as is traditionally Cypriot, you make the best of what you have 😊. These vine leaves are the softest you will get, I get them from a Greek shop at Borough market. So they aren’t from my garden sadly, but I can’t do anything about that 😊
Dangerous recipe, rather sauté opinion and properly cook ground meat FIRST, THEN throw in long grain washed rice etc etc
That is some people’s preference, but I have always cooked them this way as that is how my yiayia did them. It has never been dangerous. I cook them for at least an hour and then let them sit in steam. They will definitely be cooked through if that was your concern.
Coriander..🤮🤮🤮..other than that it looks tasty.
Use parsley 😉
That looks absolutely fabulous!!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you 😊
My son has venison mince. I made the keftedes without bread crumbs. Just potato, onion, herbs and spices. They came out so moist. Thanks again.
Glad you liked the recipe :)
Pilavuna Kıbrıslı Türk ve Rumlar'ın ortak kültürüdür. En orjinal Pilavuna kapatma şekli budur. Çok güzel ve çok beğendim. ❤❤❤❤

Super...Thank you 🙏🏻
Brilliant
Forget about the tomatos and use paprikas instead, much better taste
Do you mean like a red pepper chilli sauce? I can make that too.
FLAOUNA FOR EVER, A RECIPE FOR MORE PEOPLE.
I made your flaounes and they were (all eaten) DELICIOUS MOIST & TASTY 😋 Your recipe is for keeps 👍🫶
Thank you so much :)
thank you for your magnificent recipe, it’s the best I’ve ever tasted and I’m a Greek-Cypriot which says a lot xx
Pilavuna. Another traditional Turkish Cypriot cultural heritage. Nothing beats it! If you don't mind me saying though I think it's much better to use Turkish Cypriot brand hellim. Much more flavourful and traditional.
I have used Turkish hellim before. I think. I don’t use a particular brand. I just pick up what I can find. And I often shop in the Turkish supermarket so I’m sure I’ve used it before :)
I’m not convinced there’s that much difference whether it’s Greek or Turkish. The difference is whether it’s the fresh (rubbery) stuff in plastic or the traditional stuff that is flakier, saltier and has much better flavour. The traditional halloumi is made on both sides of the divide and is equally delicious.
Bravo Vre Chris. The proper recipe for Elio Pita.
Thank you :)
I do the 2:1 ratio but mine always comes out sticky/wet. Don't know what I'm doing wrong 😭
Sometimes mine is a little wet, but I don’t mind that. Usually it’s if I haven’t left it to stand and steak cook at the end long enough. I always try and leave it now for 15-20 mins. Alternatively, you could use a bit less water. But then just make sure you do let it stand at the end to ensure it steam cooks through.
Great video, thanks so much!
Thank you :)
Every time I make olive bread, I come here to follow the recipe. Are you from the Larnaca Region? Every village/region has their own style of food.
I’m glad you follow my recipe :) my family are from Morphou and Lefkara.
Τέλεια μπράβο σου!!
bravo re! lovely.
Thank you was looking for something different and easy the traditional ones take forever this is great thanks
Hope you like it
Nice
I made this in a granite ware tin that has a cover. I omitted the tomatoes as I’m allergic to them. I never use aluminium as it causes Alzheimer’s. I used parchment to cover the food having the barrier from aluminium. Much healthier. Cheers. ❤️⛲️🕊😘😍🍁🦃
looks good, im gonna give this a try!
Enjoy :)
Quickest, easiest method that I have seen.
Such an easy method, and works so well :)
Very very very nice, i love them, you need only one hour to make them . The trick for the filing is to use 1 tbsp of semolina.
What does the semolina do to the filling? I guess like when you put it in flaounes?
@@chrispcooks2909 yes for the same reason. Aποροφα τα υγρα της γεμισης😉
Super delicious Greek cookies, thank you for recipe👍👍👍 🌷🌷🌷
You’re welcome :)
Made a green chutney today , then I seen this and now I want to make this tomrow , do you have a rough idea how long this will store in the fridge for ?
I used it within a week. But as long as you store it properly I don’t see why it can’t last maybe two weeks.
@@chrispcooks2909 sound mate thanks , al let you know how it goes
Sacrilege. Should boil a whole chicken amd cook with Macaroni. 🤣🤣
Haha you are right on the chicken, it does give a better taste. But sometimes you just need a quick fix :)
Thank you for the recipe, looks tasty.....
You’re welcome :)
