Christine I have followed you since Cityline TV and like a fine wine, you only get better with age. Thank you for the delicious meals that have helped me impress many at my dinner table.
Years ago when I was young, I was treated by an older cousin to try something different at a festival that came in a pita (?) something I was unfamiliar with. One bite and I was in love though. It was with chicken and Tzatziki and I don't know what else but I thought I went to heaven. Now you made me hungry!
Looks great Christine, we have been making these for years in my house. All my friends love them. I am a 1st generation American/ Greek , I must say, the Greek cuisine is one of the best, if not THE best. Thanks for sharing
My mum's favorite ... kitchen implement... the electric knife! I was having a down day until you broke out the electric and started slicing :) ahh the memories. Anything meat, or bread or large... the electric knife was the solution to all her kitchen delimias. Thank you! I'm smiling now.
Lost my cooking mojo recently after being back in the rat race. I stumbled across your videos during the week and I'm so glad I did. Made these gyros this evening for hubby and I, made the pitta and the tzatziki. Oh my days they were amazing. Next week I hope to make pastitsio after watching more of your videos. Fantastic!! Thank you for this content from Scotland 🏴
Amazing recipe, everyone loves homemade gyro!! If you add a little bit of semolina in the potatoes, they will become really, really crispy! greetings from Greece! 😍
Love the recipes you have been sharing! Watching you make this makes me miss what "food tv" use to be about. I don't want to watch food "game shows" - I remember watching shows like yours back in the late nineties and when people ask me how learned to cook it was from those shows. Wish you well!
4themotherload, 100% agree that food tv was much more interesting before everything became games and competitions. Just share the tips, hacks and terrific homemade recipes.
Hi Christine, I have only just found your channel and am so hooked. I love the way you teach your recipes and I have already made Pitas. I made your chicken gyros for dinner tonight! 😃 absolutely amazing and the family loved them. Thank you coral from Australia 🐨
Love it! I have been wanting to do this gyro video for some time now and it seemed like the perfect time. So glad you enjoyed my trip to the Greek beach. Thank you
Nice to see the potatoes. When I was in Greece you got potatoes no matter where you ordered a Gyro. Here in the USA every "Authentic Greek" place looks at you like you are crazy when you ask where the fries are.
Oh my goodness Christine., you really rocked my world.! I’ve never made a gyro myself but I eat them every chance I can. Fortunately I can go to my local Greek restaurants at the sponge docks for some of the best gyros I’ve had around the world. I’m also fortunate to have access to lots of other handmade and homemade Greek items too. That said I always have shaved lamb gyros and had no idea about enjoying something different like a chicken gyro. Looks like you’ve encouraged me to make your recipe now. I can’t thank you enough.
Just made this yesterday and it was amazing!!! I really enjoy your cooking Christine . It is easy, detailed and fun. Thank you. (Love you on Marilyn Denis)..
Oh my goodness that does look mouth watering. I'm going right now and look for the sauce and pita bread recipes on your channel and add them to my saved Greek recipes playlist that I just started with this one as the first. I love gyros. I've never had a chicken one but yours is so beautiful I have to make one for me, my son and my ex. I can almost smell yours cooking LOL I enjoy watching your cooking shows on PBS. God's blessings on you and your family 💜👍😎
the best thing about this quarantine is discovering you! Amazing recipes! Especially the Greek recipes! Love that you give step by step instructions for so many of my favourites! Thank you, Christine!
The Chicken Gyro does look great even though it has many ingredients to make it. That dish must be a regular in Greece and I have been gaining a little weight since the lock down we have here. You can make anything and is one of the greatest chefs. Your family must be eating your food all the time and learning so much about being a great chef.
I made these tonight (albeit with store-bought tzatziki and pita, but still)... it was phenomenal! The mix of spices and lemon on the chicken and the combination with the fries was delicious and just perfect. And very easy. Thank you again for the recipe! I can’t wait to make it again!
that is indeed something i would recommend to try... i know how it is and i can tell you that who try it will make it over and over again!!! :) Christine you really spoil your viewers!!!! :)
What was that? Oh my goodness! I will make it tonight! Maybe a little tomato too? THANK YOU! Ps! I love when you explain the meaning of Greek words! Loooove! ❤❤❤❤
@@ChristineCushing it was awesome my son cleared his plate, I also made the tzatziki, fries and he loved it, love Greek food moussaka is my favourite but I love it, spent many holidays on the Greek Islands, heaven x
Wow! I just made this, followed the recipe and made my own breads too, have to say, this was as good as any I’ve ever tasted in Greece.....stunning, and such a fun delivery too....awesome! Yamas!
When my husband was in the navy, the first thing he did when he'd go to Greece was hit a food cart and get a Gyro with lamb. He actually called me while eating one. I hung up on him.
I love Greek and Italian cooking, probably because I grew up in California with our Mediterranean weather. It just works. Gyro, and yes I pronounce it correctly, is a favorite meat style. I also love lamb done that way. But that's harder to come by.
It makes sense growing up in California that you'd gravitate to Greek and Italian food. Glad you enjoyed the video. Have you seen the roasted leg of lamb from last week? mmm. Hope you are well in CALI
Christine, I have a huge bag of beautiful lemons I bought to make the gyros with tomorrow. I'm gonna have a lot left over can you maybe do a recipe with chicken, lemons and capers? I'd love to have a authentic Greek recipe with those ingredents to try on my family. Thanks in advance ☺
I made these yesterday, tasted great! think I'm going to the chicken seasoning a staple in my food cupboard, would taste great with a side salad and rice.
The "mouth watering effect" !!! I've got it all the way in Roy, Utah after watching your great video. Oh and the chicken thighs... the best part of the bird. Thanks for the delicious recipe Christine 👍🙂😊😮🙃❤💙💚💜🧡
I've subscribed. As an Italian with Greek friends i Just had to. You are a delight and I love your food( I can smell it from here,on Costa del Sol in Spain)and you are extremely ' simpatica'. ♥️
Not a fan of the gyro as it was always served with lamb, which I don't favor the taste but your chicken version I will try. Looks very good, thank you Christine.
Hi Christine....oh boy that does look good. I need to spend more time in kitchen...Grand daughter (23 months) was into "cleaning" used water in dogs 5 gal dispenser which thankfully didn't have a lot in it...but what was in it ended up on her and floor.....what kids will do when Daddy is not paying attention. LOL
Hi Christine, I have made these gorgeous gyros a few times now and they are so amazing. I’m wondering if you could let me know how you would do lamb for this dish too? What cut? How you’d prepare it? I eagerly await your reply 😂
Lamb is definitely not tradition for gyro, but if you wanted to do it , similarly, I would use a lamb shoulder, either cut into 2-3 " pieces ( 6-8cm" or even as a whole piece ). Roast is slowly , with a similar system to my leg of lamb , but longer. I would add the potatoes a little later. I hope this helps.
MyFavouriteFoods ChristineCushing thanks for your advice, now I feel like it would be wrong to try lamb and go against tradition 😂😂😂 I will stick to chicken 🐓🐓🐓. I am absolutely loving your videos thank goodness I found your channel. 🐨💕
Oh my! I love you! This is what I was talking about in your tzasitki vid. I am trying to spell that right without looking lol. Even stupid autocorrect doesn't know.🤔 Anyhoo thankyou!🤗🥒🍋🥙. Tzatziki
Hai mam..My name is Anju Robin you are my favourite RUclipsr .. i like your recipes... am from Kerala ( India )
Robin Dayara thank you so much !
Ever since I got back from Greece, all I've wanted was an authentic gyros, you are a saint
It instantly takes you to Greece. ...sort of. Thanks for watching
I tried this recipe with chicken breasts and they were very juicy not dried out.It was awsome. Thank you.
james manos that is so amazing to hear. When you can make the white meat tender and juicy than you are good !
IT WAS ACTUALLY A LITTLE FRIEND OF MINE. She is a very good cook, who made this for me.
Christine I have followed you since Cityline TV and like a fine wine, you only get better with age. Thank you for the delicious meals that have helped me impress many at my dinner table.
Thank you so much ! I’m glad I can be of help.
Love your approach. Never boring , always interesting. Cooked for many years but always learn something new.
Much appreciation !

It was with chicken and Tzatziki and I don't know what else but I thought I went to heaven. Now you made me hungry!
This reminds me of my trips to Greece and savouring Greek street food: Great memories.
The best I agree ! Be well
Looks great Christine, we have been making these for years in my house. All my friends love them. I am a 1st generation American/ Greek , I must say, the Greek cuisine is one of the best, if not THE best. Thanks for sharing
You got me, I was planning souvlaki for tomorrow night now I'm thinking gyro & oven fries - oh yeah! Thanks for the video. Stay safe...
A. P. Opa! Enjoy and stay safe also !
Greek food is amazing....never knew a Greek who couldn't grill meat to perfection...yum!
It so true right?
Just watching you make me soooo happy in these dark times, thankssss Christine :)
Yuri Ferreira it is my pleasure. Thank you

Lisa McNeill that is so great. I’m so glad I could help to put a smile on your face. Thanks for watching
You crack me up! Love your enthusiasm and I can’t wait to make this. Been binge watching your channel! Better than NETFLIX :)!!!
My mouth is watering!
Sol Elarien then mission accomplished LOL. Thank you
I love that you toast and then grind the Cumin. So many cooks omit the toasting step.

Sending you greetings and so glad you are getting you mojo back. You will LOVE the pastitsio .
I love your channel. You are amazing!
Frank Contreras many thanks.
All I can say is... you really should be ashamed of yourself.. for making everyone's mouth water! That looks so amazingly tasty 😊
I accept all the shame ! :)
As you should 💗

Oh that was a low blow on his part. Thank you for sharing. I know...its' crazy how good it is.

I love your videos! I love to cook. You've inspired me to make pitas, tzatziki and chicken for gyros. I'll let you know how it turns out. So excited!
Pam Chand super exciting. I can’t wait to hear how it all comes together.
Christine, I have a huge bag of beautiful lemons I bought to make the gyros with tomorrow. I'm gonna have a lot left over can you maybe do a recipe with chicken, lemons and capers? I'd love to have a authentic Greek recipe with those ingredents to try on my family. Thanks in advance ☺

Oh wow!!! That looks so good. Darn it.......This happens all the time....I have dinner planned already and now I want Gyro!
Elizabeth we are on the same wavelength , just maybe a few hours time difference. LOL.
Hi Christine, I have made these gorgeous gyros a few times now and they are so amazing. I’m wondering if you could let me know how you would do lamb for this dish too? What cut? How you’d prepare it?

Lamb is definitely not tradition for gyro, but if you wanted to do it , similarly, I would use a lamb shoulder, either cut into 2-3 " pieces ( 6-8cm" or even as a whole piece ). Roast is slowly , with a similar system to my leg of lamb , but longer. I would add the potatoes a little later. I hope this helps.
MyFavouriteFoods ChristineCushing thanks for your advice, now I feel like it would be wrong to try lamb and go against tradition 😂😂😂 I will stick to chicken 🐓🐓🐓. I am absolutely loving your videos thank goodness I found your channel. 🐨💕
Oh my! I love you! This is what I was talking about in your tzasitki vid. I am trying to spell that right without looking lol. Even stupid autocorrect doesn't know.🤔 Anyhoo thankyou!🤗🥒🍋🥙. Tzatziki
