My mother Barbara is showing us how to cook macaronopita (also makaronopita), a pasta-based Greek pie recipe. It's traditional of the Epirus department of Greece. One of the best foods to take with you on picnics or trips.

Shot with a cheap Kodak V1233 digicam. The video has no editing niceties or direction, it's just a point-and-shoot handheld video at my mother's kitchen.

    Man, your mother's FAST. :)

    I liked this; I could see what to do very easily, and I loved the fact that it was speeded up yet still visually accessible with no voiceover required. I also thought the editing was spot on: plain and simple, just what was needed.

    The food does look quite delicious, I shall try this (and he wonders to himself — slipping strangely in to the third person — what a little aubergine would do to the recipe, too).

    Also, anyone who loves cooking vids and hasn't checked out Average Betty on Vimeo, take a look here:

    Plus, although your mother doesn't have a Vimeo account, consider her added as a virtual contact. ;)

    First time I see that recipy although I'm Greek. Your mother lives in Greece? I see that the ingredients are all Greek. (misko fytini...)

  • Excellent idea of Pita.. and I will make an improvment of this but ... Alla vre Eugenia me toso ladi den sas ligonei...anyway. Great video idea and also music sax was perfectly matched with macaroni
  • Eugenia Loli-Queru plus 11 months ago
    Actually the oil is not too much when eating it, and it's required so the fyllo doesn't get dry during baking. I used to do pitas with less oil, but they weren't as good. Unfortunately, we humans like fatty foods. :D
  • Actually I still live in Greece and I am preparing such type of food all the time (the reason is that I am half from Thessoloniki) All there in Thessaloniki are always using butter for pitta but I learned how to use olive oil in cojuction with unprocessed and chemical free ALEURI and beleive me it is possible to make it with half of the olive oil.

    Wow. :o)

    Yeah, try this recipe, is pretty good. Just use a bit less olive oil. My mother is going a bit crazy with it.

    I see you are renting photo equipment btw. Are you getting a 7D? Can't wait for it.
