Dear presenters

Could you please tell me or explain to me further the way you make these spanakopita as the picture does not seam to match the instructions. If you roll to make like a sausage roll then how do you achieve the filo on bottom and the mixture on top like the picture.

Thankyou

Hi p.donofrio,
Just so you know, I've just seen this episode and the stuff on top is a salad that they made to top the spanakopita.
Happy cooking! :)

Hi p.donofrio.
I just watched the episode too,.. what you do is combine the mixture, wrap like a sausage roll and twist the rolls around on a tray to make the spirl shape, then mix the ingredients for the salad and place on the top for decoration and extra flavouring after the spanakopita has been cooked.
:) hope this helps ya!
