    That looks so good. I want to make gyros for my husband. I will let you know how it goes. Thank you!

    Real Greek yogurt (sakoulas) is very thick and quite tangy. The extra long fermentation lets the bacteria turn the lactose (sugar) into lactic acid which makes it tangy (and easier to digest). Sour cream is kind of a short cut.

    Everything is great, but i dont think you realize that when you use PLASTIC chipping board you are actually ingesting pieces of plastic (microplastic) with your food… and especially so when you abuse your board like you do….
    Now the same thing happens when you use a wooden board, you ingest tiny pieces of wood… but WOOD is biologically compatible and can be easily broken down by your body, which is totally fine, BUT PLASTIC is NOT BIODEGRADABLE… so it accumulates in your body… its called BIOACCUMULATION…
    PLEASE THROW OUT YOUR PLASTIC BOARD and GET A WOODEN ONE.. DONT BE CHEAP… GET THE BEST WOODEN BOARD YOU CAN… BAMBOO is very good as it doesn't splinter and doesn't crack or break up when wet for long periods of time… so i recommend a good bamboo board…

    I have an over abundance of zuchini and cucumbers from the garden (good problem) and this channel is giving me all the solutions!!!

    Say, Dimitra, I notice you don't miss any opportunity to add salt. You do know that salt isn't heart healthy, don't you? I mean, do whatever you want, but I think finding opportunities to SKIP the salt are preferable.

    I keep buying Greek yogurt for my recipe but the only yogurt that tastes like pre-made container of tzatziki it's just regular old plain yogurt. Yes it's thinner but the taste can't be beat. I guess I need to ask what brand of Greek yogurt you're using? But seriously The Taste is not Tzatziki when I use the Greek yogurt I purchased. So to keep the thickness I use Greek yogurt regular plain yogurt and some sour cream and then it tastes like my favorite containers and restaurant Tzatziki sauces. I used it so good one time I very carefully tried to double my batch but because it was hard to get the perfect taste again I literally wound up with about 4 L of tzatziki sauce. Thank God it freezes well LMAO. I could easily eat 1 L of Tzatziki in a week unfortunately

    You are my new fav chef to watch! Your recipes are to die for! Thank you! And I def agree about most places being stingy with the cucumber. Where is your restaurant? I bet it’s amazing!

    I would love to see a video on how to make lemonize sauce. Not sure if that's how you spell it but it's served in the Greek restaurants around me and I love it! 🤍👍🏻

    I have been looking everywhere for a proper recipe and none have tasted right to me. You're looks right so I will definitely be making this very soon. Thank you

    I will put the cucumber in a colander so it will release all it' s water and not marinat in in it.

    I use sour cream in my tzatziki, with equal amounts sour cream and plain Greek yogurt, but I will never use Daisy sour cream, because it is horrible. I also put in a dash of raspberry red wine vinegar and some mint, along with Kosher salt (Diamond Crustal is best). Πολύ νόστιμο είναι!!

    Thank you Dimitra you are an Angel… I lived in Greece for nearly 3 years, near Glifada. I wrote so many recipes down, in my recipes book, only to loose all of them, moving to America. Please keep teaching us your recipes… we love you ❤
