Gemista (tomatoes and peppers stuffed with rice), imam bayildi (stuffed eggplant), simple grilled fish with lots of fresh vegetables, and a simple salad with top-quality olives, feta cheese and Cretan rusks are among his top dishes.
His most popular videos are his recipes for aloe vera juice and a Greek pie called Kixi (pronounced kee-hee)
"Thessaloniki is one of the top destinations for foodies in Greece, and possibly in Europe as well," he says.
For quality dining with top Greek products from local producers, FT suggests visiting Zithos Dore, a classic eatery popular with locals.
Zagorohoria in the Epirus region, a destination known for its exquisite traditional Greek pies, is another of his preferred foodie stops.
