Thank you, sir!
I heard about this cake from a chef in Romania. He sad : When I eat portokalopita, a tear appears on my cheek. So, I open YT...found your recipe, I make it this evening...and I confess: It is an amazing cake. The most portocal flavor ever taste.
Thank you, sir!

Portokalopita (Greek orange cake) is truly amazing. I have my own special recipe version that I carry from a Greek grandmother. It's so good that people in my family, outside family, friends, many people in my work environment are still asking to make it, or asking me if my birthday comes soon :D. One of my most prized recipes. Love Greek cuisine. Not only truly delicious, but so diverse and filled with secrets.

Lovely!!! Sure is Great! I love Spanakopita and all kinds of Greek Pies with Cheese!!! I love the way how Greeks eat salad with cheese on top before lunch!!! I was eating these at St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Toronto!!!

[xelakram]

Such a delightful, simple dessert, bursting, I'm sure, with flavour. Oh to be in Greece now! Love to Greece!

Δεν ξέρω πώς βρέθηκα εδώ, ενώ πάντα παρακολουθώ τις συνταγές σου στα ελληνικά, αλλά φίλεεεεεε το'χειςςςς!!!!

I first tried this cake in Greece and loved it. Was sursprised to find that it was made with filo pastry! This is such a good recipe and everyone loved it. Cake turned out really moist and just like the one I had in Greece. I reduced sugar in both the syrup and cake as I usually prefer my dessert less sweet. I reduced the sugar in the syrup by half and would still consider it a sweet dessert. Also, I recommend piercing the cake(found this tip in other recipes) to help the syrup soak through the cake.

I made this for my husband's birthday while we were all home bound during COVID 19. It was fabulous and made us feel very connected to Greece.Thank you for your recipes!

You are the second chef making the phyllo dough like an accordion soooo cool 😎 😊

This recipe has become my siganture dessert, for the decoration i add orange slices on the top before putting in the oven, and I cook for 1h-1h20. The oranges on the top get some colour and look fantastic. I also use half the sugar and its still sweet!

Made this years ago and couldn't find the video again .... until now. Love this pudding. Thank you.

I are Portokalopita every day when we visited Greece in Mykonos, Crete and Santorini and after making Akis recipe last night this tasted on par if not better than what i was eating in the aforementioned islands. I will be making this again to share with friends. @Akis Petrezikis keep up the great work.

[miruna-alexandraagopian]

oooh I discovered this cake last week in Naxos on holiday. And had it almost every day - totally addicted. I couldn't work out the unusual texture - would never have guessed that it's basically a custard with dehydrated file crumbs in it.

[juanramos]

I love anything with oranges. Wonderful.

[rusvlad]

Made this with greek oranges and it was absolutely amazing

My man, I love the look of your food and your teaching style. You've got some real personality, as well as an undeniable flair for cookery. Actually, I have some Greek blood in me too (my family, on my grandfather's side, is from the southern portion of Cyprus), and learning to make some of the Greek classics is one way for me to familiarise myself with my roots again. For me, your recipe here is amongst your most mouth-watering, and one thing's for sure, I'm gonna be noshing on it real soon! Thank you for all your efforts, for bringing Greek cuisine to a wider audience, and for inspiring people like me to feel more integrated. In a few year's time, I hope to return to the land of my ancestors. But for now, I can serve up some good old memories by way of your authentic and delicious recipes. Efharisto
