 Mike (Michigan) says:
My yiya made everything by hand including fillo. There is a technique involved here to make this special. Making fillo is a major part of it. Another is the right amount of spinach. We leave out feta. I'm sure there are variations of this recipe across greece but i've never had any to match what we were taught. The only thing we're missing is the stone oven yiya used.
