What flour could I use to make this gluten free?
I grew up in a small city with a Greek and an Italian minority. Greek food wasn't well known so many Italian Food Restaurants were run by Greeks. By far, the best Italian Food was made by the Greeks.
We loved it! Excellent and so easy. I love your channel. Thank you!

Hi there, just saw your Greek greeting and spelling in Greek and English at the beginning of this video, also shows up in the transcript. Thank you for adding that. I am not and don’t speak Greek, but find it interesting to learn the greetings in the videos.😁🤗💖 Enjoy your recipes, love Za’tar and Sumac spices in Greek and Turkish recipes.
Would love to have you make a video on Greek coffee using your ‘ expresso pot’ sitting on your kitchen stove.😊

Every industry has these terms. Okay. Zest. I thought it was soap, but okay. Lemon peel / skin? I will try to not put soap in my dish. ha ha I see this in recipes. Is it really tasting good? So, I guess only the outside yellow portion.
This is so good! Perfect balance and a lots of flavors. I am never disappointed! Thanks for sharing.
