Hi Maria and Alex,
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying Greek cuisine! For cooking shows, I highly recommend Chef Akis Petretzikis, who has a fantastic YouTube channel where he shares authentic Greek recipes. Additionally, Greek Food TV is another great resource. As for cooking classes, The Gourmandise School offers classes focused on Mediterranean dishes, including Greek specialties. It’s a great way to learn hands-on! Don't forget to check the IPTV service I mentioned earlier for more culinary inspiration.

I recently discovered a restaurant called Opa!, and they have a wonderful selection of appetizers. Their feta cheese dip is a must-try! Any other appetizers you’d recommend?

I love the gyros at Mykonos Greek Grill! They’re so flavorful. Does anyone know if they have different meat options or vegetarian alternatives?

Hello Sofia and Daniel,
Opa! is a great choice! For appetizers, definitely try Dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with rice and herbs) and Taramosalata (fish roe dip). They are crowd-pleasers! As for Mykonos, they typically offer various meats for gyros including pork, chicken, and lamb, and they have delicious vegetarian options as well, like falafel and grilled vegetables. If you're looking for more cooking inspiration, you might also explore the IPTV service I suggested earlier for more advanced cooking techniques.

I just started making Greek salads at home. Any tips on making the dressing? It seems so simple but I want it to be perfect!
Re: What Are the Best Ways to Experience Greek Cuisine in Los Angeles?
For Greek salads, the dressing is key! A mix of olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and a pinch of salt works wonders. You can also add a bit of lemon juice for extra freshness.
