I have made this 3 times now and each time it gets better as I make it with more love and really do brown that meat- it adds so much depth of taste to the meat sauce. 5 stars

I cooked this recipe this weekend and it was amazing! For those of you without cinnamon sticks or whole cloves I recommend just using ground cinnamon and clove. Works just fine. Just make sure you put a bit in at a time (1 tablespoon or so) and continuously adjust tasting. Also, I added a bit of nutmeg to my sauce. Besides these minor adjustments due to what I had on hand, this IS AMAZING! My. Bf can’t get enough of it. Fast forward 3 years and my fiancé still requests me to make this recipe!

Hi Chef Christine, it's Bob Petrowski once more, writing to you from Lima, Peru. I just made your dad's recipe you showed on Moussaka. WOW, fantastic, and better yet on the 2nd day with the leftover that went so fast. The last time I had this dish was 2 years ago in Athen, Greece when the waitress told us, it had just finished in the oven and ready for serving. What a hit that was, as was your fantastic recipe. This is one of those meals, for some reason you can't get enough of. I am looking forward to making for our relatives here in Peru, they heard of it, but never had it, now they will.:) Thanks again, Christine.

(I reduced carbs by eliminating the potatoes and replacing the bechamel with 500 g mascarpone, 250 g sour cream and 5 eggs). For convenience, browned the vegetables in a 450° oven. And I added a splash of red wine to the sauce.

I add some cumin and (very little) chilli flakes. For the bechamel, I use a mixture of parmesan and real cheddar, not that orange mess you get in America, not sure about Canada. It's fabulous.

Karen’s basically Greek by marriage! She’s fluent in the language, she goes to Greece all the time, she can cook fabulous Greek food. She converted and was married in a Greek Orthodox Church. I have never been able to make any Greek recipe as well as she can! Watching your channel, I’m ready and I feel confident! She comes to visit me semi-annually (For a week or so.) l want to make her some of her favorites. However, she usually winds up cooking it herself after she tells me I’m doing it wrong! 😂🤦🏻♀️ (Which is fine, l don’t take it to heart.) Her next visit l would really love to surprise her with my newly acquired recipes from you! I’m planning on making your Spanakopita, Pastitsio, Lemon Potatoes and Moussaka! There’s a Lemon Chicken Soup, called, “Avgolemono” that she loves and l’ve tried several recipes, l found online... However, they didn’t quite taste “Authentic”? (Like her’s) I just purchased two of your cookbooks that l found on Amazon, “Fearless in the Kitchen” and “Dish It Out”. I hope there’s a recipe for the Avgolemono in one of them. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with everyone.

Onions after meat is an interesting and great idea. It works perfectly. Onions never burn

Yes it’s a great technique plus you get so much more flavour from meat. Thank you

I am making it today! Will use yellow potato instead, and "young onion". I hope my wife is going to like it, and we will remember her Greek grandmother this way. P.S. I have made your Bechamel sauce as well simultaneously, and I trashed the kitchen "medium low" according to my wife. (I always trash the kitchen thou). Smells good from the oven ... Thank you very much. This is "FAT" version compared to our traditional Serbian meat-potato moussaka. Greetings from Canada.

Kako si Zorane ? You know how Greeks and Serbs always find each other. A good kitchen trashing is definitely required. Thank you

:-) Dobro, hvala na pitanju. Greks and Serbs were never far apart in many things. Grandma knew where to aim her "arrow", right in achilles heel, so grandpa didn't really stand a chance. Than she healed him with some good cooking. Naturally...
