Spanakopita and Pine Cones? with Amy Sedaris | Michael Symon makes a classic greek dish

Amy Sedaris joins Clinton, Carla, and Michael for an absolutely unmanageable half hour of Greek food, pine-cone crafting, and comedic gold.

Michael teaches his technique for Spanakopita Triangles—sautéing fresh spinach, mixing salty Greek feta with dill, scallions, pine nuts, and a little garlic, then folding and buttering phyllo “like little footballs” before baking.

Meanwhile, Clinton and Amy build gnome ornaments using pine cones, fabric glue, googly eyes, and sheer chaos. The group plays Chew It or Screw It, answers fan mail, and Amy picks our weekly giveaway winner.
