Experimenting with Filo Pastry

 I've been dying to make my own Spanakopita since the first time I tried it! Mum has always made it with Puff Pastry, but it's just not the same when it is made with Filo, so we gave it a go!

It's quite fiddly and a lot easier when there are two pairs of hands. The trick is to ensure the Filo remains moist. It still didn't turn out quite as good as some of those amazing Greek treats that I've been tempted with in the past, but it wasn't too bad for a first effort!

A bit of sweet chilli sauce would have been great too. I did just find an amazing blog on how to make your own sugar-free version: http://www.fussyfoodie.co.uk/foodie/2075/sweet-chilli-sauce/
Will have to incorporate that next time!
