  4. 🙋‍♀Well this looks good on the video and I know it will taste delish with all those flavors you added. Spinning lemons,rolling meatballs what will it be next? A bouncing hard boil egg?🤷‍♀maybe 🤦‍♀🤣😂

  5. Ok, that is what I will be cooking on Saturday. It looks so delicious. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipes with us.

  10. Great! Well done! Almost like a movie and the music, too, excellent! About a recept ,i must do it some time! The problem to me is an olive oil, expensive and maybe fake, better will be to visit Greece, that is nearly..!?😮😢🎉

  11. Oh, yum..makes me almost wish I still eat beef. I may try with just pork and mix with turkey or chicken..maybe. May dull the shine, but that sauce! 😊

  12. Hi chef, tried a few different types of meatballs but never had the Greek one. They looks delicious & I'll be making it for sure. Kenji licking his chops convinced me. Cheers Chef.

  15. This looks too good… honestly, your video gave me that extra push to start my own food channel 🥹❤ I’d love for anyone reading this to check it out—sharing food feels even better when more people join the table!

  16. Thanks for using our cinnamon. Best advertising by the best chef. Big hugs to Kenjy boi who growing in front of our eyes.
    I have a separate page on YouTube where I save your recipes and its sad to watch them because of darljng Whiskey.

  17. They say the kitchen is the heart of the home
    And you are the king of the kitchen
    So you are the king of the heart👑💖

  18. Excellent take on this!

    A minor point: mint is not something the Greeks use much. It is more of a Cypriot thing. I think it has partly become more mainstream because Greek chefs (e.g., Petretzikis) use it to add a bit of exotic flavour for foreign audiences.

  19. Everything looks amazing. I just cooked your One pot Marocan chicken. Delicious!!
    This is next!!!

  20. Greek meatballs? This dish is entirely Turkish and greeks were taught it by Turks during the ottoman empire. Keftedes… you mean köfte? 😂

  21. Lovely delicious meal, any day of the week, not just for weekends.

    Nice "Spanish" Guitar to go with a "Greek" weeknight dinner.
