MAMA'S MOUSSAKA

Mama's Moussaka image

A couple of years ago, my mother and sister went on holiday to Greece where they enjoyed the company of Nina, their energetic and enthusiastic tour guide. During the extensive tour, Nina was gracious enough to share her mama's personal moussaka recipe with my Mom. This wonderful recipe transmigrated across the Atlantic and now it is one of our family favorites also! A very special thanks goes out to Nina and Nina's mama!
