These pulse recipes are great during this self isolation period, we all have them in the cupboard and they keep forever

[chaostade]

for those that arent greek and wanna try this dish: ALWAYS put white wine vinegar or apple vinegar when served, it gives amazing flavour.

You are amazing! My boyfriend is Greek and I've made quite a few authentic Greek meals for him, learned them from your teachings, and he loves the authenticity! I am Puerto Rican descendant and he says that my Greek food is right on point as a Greek! That's an honor really! Thanks to you my friend, I've learned so much, thank you!

Omg Akis!! My Papou used to make this ALL. THE. TIME.! When my Yiayia passed away, this was one of 2 or 3 dishes he always made for himself (and he taught me too 🙂)... I still think of him every, single time I make this! Thankyou for the sad/happy memories!

I love vegetarian foods!
And Greece has many vegetarian foods, please do more vegetarian and vegan recipes.
Cheers! :)

Το έφτιαξα και είναι η πρώτη φορά στη ζωή μου που πραγματικά μου άρεσαν οι φακές! Τέλεια συνταγή.

Words cannot describe how much I love Akis. His personality is just so incredibly infectious. His recipes are also simple as hell and so rustic.

[sheilasouza]

Akis, really... I love these simple and yet very greek recipes. I love it when you say "In Greece we Always...." and I have the chance to learn from your eating and cooking habits. Thanksa lot na dcongratulations on your work here!!!

I have been told about this recipe from one of my greek friends and it is very nice. I cook it myself. Greek cusine is delicious, same as our egyptian cusine.
Bravo!

This is what Diogenes of Sinope ate for supper. Love it.

[ventasecu-gye]

Excellent tip!!! i did not know adding salt before it is cooked will make lentils hard... now i know while before my lentils took so much time to cook 😶.... Thanks Akis!! 😘

Every Friday during Lent, the parish to which I belonged served (after Stations of the Cross) a dinner of bread and various vegetarian soups. So, instead of observing the Lenten fast at home, it was far more enjoyable to observe it with the parish community.

Lentil soup was a staple of their repertoire. It's one of my favorites.

[lolodonovan]

it's really lovely that you plant your own herbs

[tsiganed]

It doesn't have to be complicated to be good and healty. Thank you again Akis.
