@RWood – your spanakopita is beautiful! I haven’t made it in years! I was taught how to make it by the African American chef of a fabulous Greek restaurant in Old Town Alexandria that was owned by friends. It used to be my signature potluck dish in the 1980’s. I still always order it when we get Greek/Mediterranean/etc. food.
Thanks! This is my mom's husband's version. He worked on it over the years too get it the way we like it. When he was younger, he had taught some Greek cooking classes. And he and his brother had a Greek Taverna years ago in Berkeley, so they cooked a lot there.
He always liked for me to handle the phyllo because I was a lot faster than he was.
Since he passed away, we've made it a few times and it's nice to remember 😊.
