      Why do you emphasize the second to last word in the sentence

    • @alancharlton7892
      @alancharlton7892 Před rokem

      The pronunciation used for "filo" is correct for that spelling, derived from Roman Latin, but incorrect if using the original Greek spelling "phyllo", in which the "y" is as with "by, my, why".
      Until today, I only knew of the "filo" spelling & didn't know it was actually a Greek pastry with different spelling.

      This is greek not turkish. It dates from 800 BC. It was also documented in 1100 AD but that was byzantine empire. The turks, were nomadic tribes with zero civilisation. Don t spread misinformation. Tartars and arabs were ottomans, but the civilisation was not their. There is no such thing as anything turkish, it s all greco roman or byzantine, not to mention the other cultures that were in Anatolia. None tartars or arab when that civilisation was made.

    I live in the Philippines (Mindanao) and it is impossible to find phyllo so I am determined to make my own because I have a decades-old craving for baklava. The last time I had it was in 1974 and I can still remember the taste of every crunchy bite of heaven. Thank you for this recipe. I have tried it once already and have a tip for anyone living in a humid environment: Reduce the warm water from 3/4 cup to about 1/2 cup or you will be constantly adding enough flour to almost increase the dough mass by about 50 percent.

    My yiayia's phyllo was legendary. She used the broomstick method, rolling out multiple pieces of dough at a time. She would roll one thin, dust with flour, add another and keep rolling out both, then another and would roll out all 3, etc, until she had 15-20 sheets of phyllo on the broomstick. I loved watching the sheets of dough stretch to the size of the table. It's an art.

    Chef John, you must be the first Western chef to make Phyllo dough from scratch by hand. As a matter of fact hand made phyllo dough in Turkey, Greece, Lebanon, Syria, and the rest of the middle East has largely been replaced by the machine made version. Thank you for always learning new tricks from other chefs, cooks, professionals, amateurs, CZcamsrs... etc and bringing it to your audience.

      You'd be surprised how useful that is from an editing point of view. It makes it very easy to separate out phrases and move them around or remove/remove as needed. If you speak quickly and run phrases together it's far harder to do cleanly. And, even if you can separate them, it sounds wrong, because the cadence, pitch, and volume at the points where you remove something won't match up right on the bits on either side.
      This is something most folks who make videos will learn to their dismay, since most of us talk in the jamitalltogether style. You could completely disassemble his speach and put it back together in random order and, though it might not make sense, it would sound exactly the same in terms of delivery and transitions.

      Most people really dont give enough of a crap what you think to try and do that. Chef John took ages to make one batch. In a restaurant environment where you need so many more it simply isn't viable to make them. Store bought ones are just as good in this, somewhat rare, circumstance. No doubt they were taught how to years and years ago in culinary school, but have since stopped caring.

      My mother used to make paklava, and for years made her own filo as well. I believe she only switched to store-bought filo once she was made aware of its availability. She gradually moved away from paklava towards bourma. As her little kitchen helper, I had to help; I've shelled and chopped more bags of walnuts than I care to think about.

      Keep trying, it takes so much practice. I was frustrated at first too. My Macedonian mother taught me to make homemade phyllo and it took me a long time to get to the point where my phyllo didn't tear when I stretched it (and to tell you the truth it still tears sometimes even after years of practice). But if it tears in places it doesn't matter, you layer many sheets on top of each other so the tears get covered eventually. I made so many traditional savoury Macedonian recipes with torn phyllo and once your dish is complete and baked, you can't tell. My family begs for more.

  • @Kolopaper
    @Kolopaper Před 7 lety +6

    Filo = paper in greek. I guess it's because it's as thin as a simple paper. Also, the Baklava he made, is a well known food here as well. Maybe it originates from Turkey though, i am not sure

    • @slim1one
      @slim1one Před 6 lety +1

      Yes it originates from Turkey, as do alot of foods in countries that were under Ottoman rule for hundreds of years - souvlaki, pita/bourek, baklava, many, many more - that's why former Ottoman empire countries have so many foods in common.

    • @karlpoppins
      @karlpoppins Před 5 lety

      @@slim1one Well, the origin of modern Turkish and Greek foods is still contested. Baklava was of course perfected by Ottoman cooks, but there is evidence that it originates further back in the Byzantine/Roman times. The same can be said about multiple foods shared across all ex-Ottoman countries.
