MORE RECIPES: http://greekgourmand.blogspot.... receive several requests every month for a Tzatziki sauce recipe, so I finally decided to oblige and provide my own take on the famous dip. If you enjoy Tzatziki, you will love this recipe for the ultimate Greek food condiment for meat dishes, sandwiches, pita, and crackers.Creating a recipe video is always a learning experience. This is my first cameo appearance in an instructional Greek cooking video (I have to admit, I was a little nervous), so there is much room for improvement from a presentational, technical, and production value standpoint. On the other hand, I believe my recipe for a classic Tzatziki sauce leaves very little room for improvement, as the result is simply excellent - even if I do say so myself. Rich and creamy, with a bold garlicky flavour mingled with the freshness of the cucumber and dill, this sauce (or dip, or salad) will have you, your family, friends, and guests coming back for more. Just make sure to refrigerate it well before serving as the flavours need some time to coalesce in order to impart the full gustatory sense of this "salad" that eats like a sauce. Let me just say that I likely could have edited this video until the cows came home (figuratively of course, we don't have a dairy farm), but I am happy with the recipe, so I decided to publish it as is. My one solace: I am quite certain that after watching this Greek recipe video, you will not easily forget how to make a great Tzatziki sauce. So, enjoy it in good health!Pánta Kalá (Always Be Well),Sam Sotiropoulos Greek Gourmand™ http://www.greekgourmand.comGr... Food Recipes and ReflectionsCopyright © 2008, Sam Sotiropoulos.

if you are turkish, you are a civil of the republic of turkey. if you are turkic you are turk by blood. azerbajdzanis are turkic too, just like kazakhstan and many others. many central asians are turkic, turks in turkey too. turkish is like a modern turkic. there are 80 million turkish people, but 250 million turkic.

iSlash96 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
according to wikipedia its frist made by turks. and you should really start to see the difference between turkey and turkic nomades. and even the word is turkic

yoghurt is iranian according to three sites i looked up and greek according to two sites, nowhere does it mention turkey.
iSlash96 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
republic of turkey excists for 85 years or so, and the turkic nations excist for more than 5000 years. yoghurt is first described in 3000BC by the turks. all evidence shows that the turks were the first to make yoghurt, and even the word ''yoghurt'' is turkic. and , greeks would have had no reason to make yoghurt while the turks did have: air wasto moistured and the weather conditions of central asia were not appropriate to store milk. if you would do some research, i wouldnt have to explain

greeks have been eating yoghurt for thousands of years. how olds turkey again? greeks invented yoghurt. there are paintings that date back to 1000 bc which depict ancient greeks eating tzatziki. most turkish foods are greek foods but with different names. most turkish foods only date back to after they conquered constantinople and stole our cuisine. there is evidence that greeks have been eating gyros, souvlaki a, yoghurt, baklava, etc.... since before the time of Jesus.
iSlash96 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
turkish. turks invented yogurt nd the turkish nomades made Tzatzik. which is the tzatziki we know now. then, in ottoman time, greeks made it slightly different and called it Tzatziki. the turkish version was named to haydari. these area all facts.

well arabs always say they invented greek food. if its not greek (which it is) then what is it?
iSlash96 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

loadedClownZ (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
