this guy is like a young hip version of a greek grandmother

OMG, I came here to see how to make tzaziki and 80% of the comments are people drooling over the chef! LOL!

This Tz sauce is the bomb… I made it without tasting it cause I fast at a certain time. So I let my wife taste it and she said it taste better than the one we buy from the store… Thanks!

Love Greek food. Love Greek culture. Love Greek people. Absolutely love them. From a Persian who loves Crete.

I was in Greece for a week two summers ago and my lunch for literally every day was pita with a lot of tzaziki! I couldn't stop eating it! I'm from Austria and I think greek food is one of the best in the world!😍

Sorry I got distracted, what were we making? 😅😅☺️

Hi Akis my husband and me are mexicans. We love your kitchen and your recipes. We living in USA. Today my husband was cooked the leg of lamb greek style.

His accent Is the male Greek version of Sofia’s Vergara Latin accent... 🤣🥰

It is an absolute joy to see someone who is so passionate about their food! Akis is a perfect ambassador for Greek food! :D

Dont know which one looks better?! The tzatziki or the chef??

I’m from Italy but I’m really really close to Greece. When I was little we used to go there every year, and my god I freaking loved tzatziki. I could literally eat it non stop. Every time I make it at home it brings so many memories

I am Indian and we are proud of our food but hands down I love Greek food so much. It’s so much fun!! Thanks for the recipe.

"I'm going to begin by peeling my cucumber"...Well that escalated quickly.

I was in greece in May and I had this with pita bread every single day. miss Greece so much! lots of love from India:)

This took me back to my Navy days in Mikonos, Greece. That sauce is the TRUTH! I think I"m going to make some lamb gyros and reminisce.

I lived in Athens, Greece for 5 years, 1989-1994. Greek yogurt IS the best. They only used Fage brand then. Looks delicious. Greece is an amazing country and the people too. Some day I want to go back.

God bless the Greeks...

I have to agree - the Greek yoghurt is the best one in terms of texture (thick, creamy, rich in flavor) - I always buy it not only for Greek dishes, but for everything that uses yoghurt as an ingredient. Thank you, Akis, for the recipe!

I very fondly remember going to Agistri as a child and eating Tzatziki and fresh bread every day I was there. Hands down the best sauce on the planet.

Who is this Greek Zak Efron 😆 Needless to say I subscribed

Used spanish extra virgin olive oil instead of greek... Now my kitchen is on fire

The sauce for supper........the chef for desert. BON APPÉTIT

Soy argentina con nacionalidad griega, y viviendo en España. Desde Argentina que te sigo y hago tus recetas, alla me costaba mas conseguir los productos, ahora que estoy viviendo aqui en España, ya practicamente vivo de tus recetas. AMO la culta griega y pienso que tienen la mejor comida. Gracias por compartir tus recetas Akis, soy feliz haciéndolas!!

That’s what we need in the kitchen, a cute Greek guy to teach us how to cook. I’d attend his class. I guess subscribing will have to do lol.

Akis, i'm so glad i found your channel. I spent one month in Greece with my husband, and we just loved the greek food. Now i can try to do all that wonderful food in my own house! Thanks for sharing this great recipes with us! We greet you from Brazil!

Just discovered you thx to foodtube. I instantly fell in love with your channel and expect to live a long life together learning to cook amazing food.

Not buying store bought anymore after watching this gentleman make it.

This is great as a dip, healthy and delicious. Yes, Greek yogurt is the best. Never thought this German would be crazy for such healthy and tasty Greek foods. Thank you for helping me to learn to begin making these smaller dishes.

It was about time you've made an English channel Akis!Now you can show the rest of the world your absolutely spectacular recipes!By the way, your tzatziki rocks :)

I'm from Mexico, I had the chance to try some Tzatziki back in Europe long time ago, was craving for it so bad, made your recipe today, and it was perfect! thanks Akis for this great recipe!

I'm making this tzatziki now to have with my dinner. I have some homegrown garlic, cucumber and dill from my garden, so this recipe definitely is a must. A huge efharisto from Sweden!

Akis, you are exellent... Many greetings from Belgrad, Serbia, to our brothers, to Greek, volimo vas

I love his honesty!!!! Tasted it and meh - needs more salt *adds way more salt* - OH YEAH!!!!!

Akis! This sauce is EXCELLENT! I made this, your chicken gyro, and Pita bread for dinner today! It smelled sooooo good in my house and everyone LOVED it! My daughter made herself a Caesar salad and put the gyro chicken on it, she was happy! 😁Thank you so much for sharing your excitement about Greek food with us! Hugs from Texas, USA.🌹

I lived in Athens for 4 years, and ate this everyday. It has to be the best flavor you can add to any food. Love it, love it, love it....

I love Greece since meeting my ex. But most importantly the food bringing family together....OPA! I LOVE COOKING HOMEMADE GREEK FOOD. SUPERB

Άκη, πιο πολλά είναι τα σχόλια για την ομορφιά σου παρά για το υπέροχο τζατζίκι που ετοίμασες! Α ρε Έλληνα παιδαρά! Όπως και να'χει όλα τα καλά σχόλια τα αξίζεις!

I subscribed after hearing the accent for the first 5 seconds 😆

I'm Turkish and my roots from selanico jewish i love to watch your channel

You saved my life Akis 😂 I'm on a diet. Everytime I start to crave some tasty dishes I just grab some freshly chopped veggies and roasted chicken breasts dip in this Tzatziki to help.

When I was younger, I used to say that I was Greek. 😅😅😅 I used to look for any excuse to say that I was Greek. It turns out I was not even close... I love Greece!!!

Looks so yummy! I am so glad you made an English channel! I love love Greek food

I just love this stuff, I will put it on almost literally anything. Aside from pitas, gyros, and souvlaki, I include it on charcuterie plates, use it as a spread on sandwiches or burgers, and have even used it as the dressing for potato salads. The sour-savory combination and the fresh herbaceous flavor will compliment and brighten nearly anything. If every restaurant had a bottle of this magic laying around, I have no doubt that it would displace ranch dressing as the sauce that Americans put on absolutely everything.

I could probably eat tzatsiki with everything

simply perfect! Salute from France where there are lot of greek restaurants. I love greek food: fresh, tasty and healthy.

I’m a bit late but I was in Greece for a month 14 years ago and have had tzatziki so many times in the states and it has never hit the same and this really takes me back. Thanks for the content and love the enthusiasm

“You can serve it with baked potatoes or a nice piece of meat” - yes I can Akis!

Finally, legit Greek food! Ευχαριστώ!!

I came to see how to make the sauce but I got distracted by your voice and looks lol lord

I don't know why other youtubers don't use vinegar... I allways felt that something was missing when preparing it. I love this recipe, it's the best, I love sour foods and sauces! 😍 Greetings from Romania!🤗

I made this for my family with chicken kabobs and it was so delicious and super easy because of watching you ! I’m Mexican and love love love Greek food! I love that you cook authentic dishes and not watered down Greek😏! Love your food!

Akis I'm your new fan. I'm writing you from Nicaragua, loved this sauce, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, I'm sending you a big hug! 🤗

In Turkey we make the same sauce without taking out the water but this looks much better. Thanks for the recipe!

Thank you! I made it and it didn't last 10 minutes on the table, everybody loved it! Perfect. Thank you! Greetings from México 🇲🇽! ❤️

This guy's energy is exactly how the sauce hits my taste buds every time I take a bite with some pita bread

made this tonight, awesome, my new favourite. thanks Aki!!!

Πολύ ελαφρύ! Περισσότερο σκόρδο! Να βρωμάμε τζατζικίλα, αλλιώς δεν γίνεται δουλειά :P

YES!!! The white wine vinegar makes SUCH a difference....And so many recipes do not mention it. Sas efcharistó!

Έφτιαξα το τζατζίκι χθες! Το έφαγα με τον γύρο και ήταν πάρα πολύ νόστιμο! Το ελληνικό φαγητό είναι σούπερ! ❤️😋

I made it today thank you akis ! i have always thought japanese sauce was the most delicious but after i ate this greek sauce from you i can say it : the Tzatziki sauce is the most delicious sauce that i have ever tasted in my life ! thank you Akis for sharing this deeply,my dad's family is actually greek but i dont have much contact with them and their culture soo i am ' half-greek ' i feel like i am touching my roots eating this even though i have never ever had direct contact. I also did your chicken and pita bread . i am going to try the mussaka and the other cheesed bread baked one ( sorry forgot the name ) next week when friends will come to stay in my house for weekend ! everything was delicious and healthy !soo i have to thank you again Akis i would never had a chance to be able made this but you made it possible ( :

I had souvlaki for the first time studying abroad in vienna.I had a Greek friend that introduced me to it!

Thank you for the recipe, I made this and ate it with pita for a few days and around day 3 the flavors have all combined and boosted each other and this sauce is absolutely delicious 😋

The best thing about this video is the chef enjoys cooking...i mean I am smiling all through the video

I made Gyros with Tzatziki according to your recipes and they turned out great! I'm a vegetarian, so instead of meat I used portobello mushrooms sliced on big chunks - kinda like steak fries. Your marinade for gyros is absolutely fantastic! And your recipe for Tzatziki was the best I've ever made. Thank you!

La cocina griega de Akis es espectacular, sencillo y sobretodo mantiene esa esencia de lo tradicionalmente helénico, es maravilloso 😍 Gracias Akis 🇪🇸❤️🇬🇷

two things i love aboute this channel .his english speaking style allways reminds me of my teacher from cyprus . .he has so much energy that even if i am dead i will wake up and run towrds kitchen hhh

Ingredients 10.5 oz strained yogurt 1 cucumber 1/3 clove(s) of garlic 3 tablespoon(s) vinegar 1/4 bunch dill, finely chopped (optional) 2 tablespoon(s) olive oil 1 pinch salt pepper To serve souvlaki pita breads olive oil herbs, fresh

One of my absolute favourite things about Greek cuisine is Tzatziki sauce! So delicious with so many dishes. Greek olive oil really is the secret of life :)

Made this today, most amazing Tzatziki i've had! I had to use Lemon Vinegar and it's a very good replacement!

I am happily surprised with his recipes. Great guy

How I love to watch you and your accent with all the gestures you make while cooking! All the best!

Ahahahaha you are the best mate !!! A bit of Greek humor it's amazing !!!!!I love you mate 🇦🇱lots of love and respect from Albania 🇦🇱👊✋👏

I waitressed at a “semi fine dining” Greek restaurant a few years ago and I’ve been yearning for tzatziki sauce ever since. Not sure why it’s taken me like six years to finally think “hmm maybe I should just make some myself”, so finding this video was definitely a come up. I used to sneak pita chips with a little pinch of tzatziki sauce when I’d come to work hungry and OMG it was like the best thing EVER. Our head chef was this ornery, old, terrifying Greek man named Georgios who was a real tool. Idk that he was capable of speaking to anyone in any volume lower than “absolute yelling” (unless he was talking to one of the two Greek owners-Mr. Sarris or Mr. Kanakis-since these men essentially wrote his checks), and he was less than approachable. So I’m thankful that I have KZfaq as a resource to try and get access to an authentic tzatziki sauce once again. Now if I could just find a good recipe for loukamades and I’d be SET. Also, totally agree that Greek yogurt is the only appropriate base for this, but ALSO, Greek yogurt is just better all around, PERIOD. I don’t even eat traditional yogurt anymore. “The Greek Gods” brand, honey vanilla flavor, with actual honey added is better than any Dannon, Go gurt, yoplait whips nonsense that you could try instead. Also try substituting Greek yogurt for sour cream on a baked potato. You can barely tell the difference and it’s a lot healthier. I’m just saying; once you get hooked on Greek yogurt, it seems senseless to ever go back to what you ate before 🤷🏻‍♀️

I made this recipe today and it was to die for! My husband and kids ate it all up with our gyros. Thank you!!

I visited Greece, the Greek people are so nice like Italians, so beautiful place, the kebab so delicious

I have just found your channel and I fell in love with it! Thanks for the great recipes!

That looks tasty, when I prepare for myself, I add some water to make it a cold beverage. Cheers from Istanbul.

I just made my first tzatziki sauce 💪😋 It is delicious!!! Next step is pita bread. Thank you Akis, I love you channel! And btw the cutest English accent I’ve ever heard!❤️ Greetings from Split, Croatia 🇭🇷

So delicious and easy, love it. Solo much better than commercial store bought. Thank you! I love all your recipes

I was just at The Greek Island restaurant in Omaha, I love this sauce!

Too cute, love his accent and he is very handsome. Great recipes too. Love the guy.

I LOVE THIS i always come back to this video to make the recipe, it tastes so good and fresh !!

This is the first video of this guy that I'm watching and I absolutely love it. His enthusiasm and energy is so good. Love it!

i made this together with the gyro chicken. it taste so good and i am so happy my boys loved it. my husband never eats yogurt but he ate a lot of this. thank you for sharing this recipe. I finally made something that tasted so good and so healthy at the same time for my family.

I just use yogurt, garlic, cucumber, olive oil and salt and my tzatziki is always so so yummy!! 👌

Akis you keep me coming back. Your recipe is my very fav. ❤ I love you & your recipes Sweets thank you

I love the energy but mostly the recipes. Thank you 💖

Thanks Aki! Great energy in this video.

I just luv luv luv Greek food..all your recipes are amazing!..summer and Greek food are the best!!!

As a half Greek woman, I love this!!! My Yia Yia would be proud.

I made this tonight, and it turned out excellent! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

Ohh Buddy! I woke up this morning and I thought "I need a new condiment / sauce in my kitchen". I searched goolge with "list of sauces" and after deciding on a general white colored sauce and seeing the familiar word Tzatziki (which I had never made or tasted before, only read about) I started watching some videos. I saw a few others with reasonable advice and recipe's but wasn't totally convinced. Then I found yours. Hey - Greek man, Greek sauce - Yep, I give you my trust. I usually change every recipe I find, but not this one. Everything you did, I did. Thanks to your help, I found the new sauce for my kitchen. I did the taste test with plain pita chips. I think I'll test it out with fried shrimp tonight. This is awesome! Fresh dill is one of my favorite herbs, and I was looking for new ways to eat yogurt besides with fruit. So, my thanks to you: A like, comment, subscribe and a visit to your website. I'm interested to see how the flavor develops overnight. Cheers, from Texas.

love your recipes, made this and felt like I was back in Skiathos! Thank you :)

Akis I always use your recipies for any greek food .They are so authentic and delicious.

Thank you Akis for your delicious Greek recipes, You are Amazing !!! 💞🎉🌞

I loveeeeed the way you spoke english

Mmmm reminds me of home 😍

This is appetizing. Even authentic! I’m Greek in my heritage on my mother’s side

I spend a really really amazing week on santorini, this was my favorite appetizer ❤ with pita bread, greek people cook really good and all are very gentle ✨🙌🏻

Made this yesterday, had homemade pork gyros and greek pita bread too (your recipes). OMG! Loved it! I have made tzatziki before but this one is to kill for. It was delicious and the dill (if any complain, says optional), was a nice suprise. The white vine vinegar was a hit, never thought about that, made the whole tzatziki complete. Thank you Akis for all your lovely recipe! Greetings from Sweden😍
