  1. Jásu, I like to cook your recipes. I love greek cuisine. Greetings from the Czech republic. Efcharisto.

  2. If you really wanna be precise 2 cups orzo (rice-shaped pasta) plus 5 cups liquid (natual juices + water) ensures great results.

  3. I thought for sure some of that sauce was gonna sprits up on your shirt when you were putting it in your casserole pan. You did good. I love orzo and beef so I should try it out. Thanks.

  4. It's very hard to hear what you are saying over the cooking, music, fan, and banging noises. Also, what do you mean by "pimento"? To Americans, a pimento is a piece of roasted red pepper.

  5. Hi Katerina! I’m making this wonderful dish tonight for the first time and all I have is ground allspice, how much do you think I should you? Thank you for this amazing recipe!

  6. Looks delicious. I will make it today. Can I add a cinnamon stick? I've seen some youvetsi recipes with cinnamon. Efxaristo! Kalo Paska!

  7. I thaw the orzo rice to prevent it from becoming too mushy when cooking. Thaw it with olive oil. Got this hint frim Masterchef Akis Petretzikis..makes huge difference

  8. Giouvetsi is definitely one of my Greek favorites. I will always remember the first time I had it at a restaurant in Skiathos.
