Ultimate Greek Spanakopita Recipe: How to Make Perfect Spinach Pie

    This was so good! Thanks for setting up this project during our visit, otherwise I might have been scared off by the 5 boxes of spinach. You also showed that this recipe isn't fussy about the proportions of cheeses. I guess there really is no better way to get the water out of the spinach than pressing it with your hands. Some tasks just require a little bit of patience. Thank you for this keeper!
