About this video:In this Greece vlog titled "Attempting to cook GREEK FOOD | A day in the life of an expat living in Greece," we take on a cooking challenge to prepare traditional Greek food. As an expat living in Crete, I share a glimpse into my daily life, starting with a visit to the local butcher and a trip to the beach. This video captures the essence of moving to Greece and adapting to the expat lifestyle, blending culinary adventures with everyday routines. Watch as we navigate the local markets, cook authentic Greek dishes, and taste our creations. Alongside the cooking challenge, I showcase the beautiful scenery and vibrant culture that define daily life in Greece. Join me for an engaging 24-hour journey through the lifestyle of a foreigner living in Crete.

Kali orexi ( bon appétit) by watching this cooking Greek food video with Raul & Amalia I’ll put zucchini balls on my menu I never cooked them. History says that the Mediterranean Diet in Crete is most healthy so try another Cretan dish on the next video. Thank you for allowing us to watch. Try spanakopita (spinach pie with feta cheese) and Greek salad.. I was excited watching and did learned something new (zucchini balls ) kalimera 🍽️

Nailed it for sure!! Also, Raul's accent is excellent when he was saying "Ευχαριστώ πάρα πάρα πάρα πολύ" (Euharisto para para para poly). Tzatziki is the best thing that you can eat any day any time! You can leave it to rest in the fridge for a half or 1 day and the next day would be so much better! If you like garlic you can try Skordalia, which is another traditional sauce we are eating on the 25th of March with Cod fish. You nailed also the zucchini balls, the texture needs to be like that, crunchy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside!! For the nose clip check out a store called Intersport, they sell equipment for many sports and you may be lucky

You did great with the cooking... you'll find many different alternatives to how Greeks make tzatziki example but I believe as long as it tastes garlicky, fresh and delicious... then you did it just fine 😄

Loved it as always. Love your style. Mainly the respectful & kind approach to different cultures & people. Regarding the above video now. Having already comprehended, that you are on low carbon diet, I understand how you missed a key ingredient to the Greek diet that always accompanies the above menu : fried potatoes 🥔 😉

Grilling Tip : When grilling souvlaki you MUST keep all of them in touch with each other. No gaps between them. Turn sides but still keep them together

nailed it , heres a tip for amasing greek salads , tomatoes cucmber onion in , salt , a dash of vinegar and good mixing for a minute or two before ading oil , just be sure to have some bread with you or at least pita for the deep dives ... if you dont understand the deep dive just do as i recoment and have the bread , u will see ;)

a cheese you need to try is called ksinomizithra , a hybrid of cheese and yogurt , makes the best salads green or tomatoe ones

Me as a Greek: Oh, you guys are making our food! Excellent, we love people who share our culture. Also me as a Greek: There needs to be more side dishes to be considered good enough feast.

Yeah you nail it! As for pita bread, look for wholemeal pitas (ολικής άλεσης / olikis alesis), they are ideal for dieters and diabetics, and taste the same (maybe even better). You can ask for the same when you eat souvlaki outside the house, there is this option.

@Gk-ug6gu Ай бұрын

Actually pretty good attempt. Of course the best version of souvlaki is to broil it in natural wood charcoal on the grill with fatty pieces of pork and plenty of sea salt and dry oregano. Tzatziki traditionally made is with lots of garlic, extra virgin olive oil, a touch of red wine vinegar and the rest ingredients. Κολοκυθοκεφτέδες they are tastier when are fried but of course in the matter of good health is acceptable to baked them. You can replace pita with a wholegrain tortilla. Other cooking ideas: Μουσακάς, Παστίτσιο, Κεφτεδάκια/μπιφτέκια με πατάτες,γεμιστά, γύρος
