    Surprised you added all the fresh herbs so soon in the cooking process. Was stationed in Germany and two of my favorite food groups, stuffed grape leaves and döner kebabs. I will try, but think I will add half the fresh herbs or use some dry, then the other half in right before wrapping to preserve as much fresh flavor as possible. Had some two weeks ago in a Turkish restaurant that were only rice and mint, they were the bomb. Actually, I don’t remembering ever having them with meat.

    John can you help me? My little sister’s birthday is in two weeks and I’m hosting a surprise birthday tea party! She really wants lemon poppyseed scones. I’m unsure of how to make them but the blueberry scones recipe you have is a hit in my family. Could you provide a recipe?

    I did dolmades with cabbage leaves. My folding technique was so rubbish the dish ended up similar to lasagne 😅 But the family enjoyed it. Edit: even a child wraps Dolmades better than I do. Goes to show what a brilliant teacher John is!

    I had to stop this video to say I was cheering your son on the whole time. He did an awesome job! And it was sweet to see you so proud. 😊

    I do my dolmades with raw ingredients. Have you ever made it with fresh grape leaves? When I had a grape vine I would pick the leaves and par boil them in light salt water and freeze them for later uses. what's nice about fresh doesn't have the salt content. PS. just helped out a my local Greek Church for a bake sale for easter. Maked kourabiedes, koulourakia, and paximadia. Before I forget Christos Aneste.

    So lovely to see a different version thank you! My Lebanese Grandmother was so proud of hers! Quite different! No tomatoes in the base… she had Lamb, currants (I’m using pomegranates) Pignolias, green onions, and white rice, Garlic goes around it in the cooking process as well as the Lemon! I do it in the pressure cooker… I could eat these all day every day! Amazing to see all the different interpretations 🥰🌷😘🦋

    We have stuffed grape leaves in Egypt and it's both the most loved & the most famous dish here 🥰 funny to mention that most Egyptians actually cook the vegetarian type. For meat, we use minced beef. Thank you for the great recipe! Definitely would try it!!
