I've actually been to the restaurant once, when I was on a trip to Seattle, Washington. I had brought this cookbook with me (because I bring cookbooks everywhere haha) and I didn't even realize the restaurant was in Seattle until I was looking through the book so of course we had to go, and it was amazing. Anyway, this moussaka looks really good, I'll have to search out that recipe.eatme_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-53983998798202049452011-07-28T17:05:42.012+10:002011-07-28T17:05:42.012+10:00You really can't go wrong with lentils, mushro...You really can't go wrong with lentils, mushrooms and walnuts - such beautiful ingredients and the end result looks mouthwateringly good!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08832353597948360984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-28094104762872932362011-07-23T07:11:49.309+10:002011-07-23T07:11:49.309+10:00Just gorgeous Johanna.

All he wanted was to cook food that needed an oven."<br /><br />Hahaha, this made me laugh, and I can relate to it so much because I've lived in very small apartments without an oven for so many years!<br /><br />Your moussaka looks great, and I'm sure my Dad would love this! He's very found of eggplants. Me? Not so much ... It's one of the vegetables I usually pick out. :O But I love the idea of making a kind of lasagna with vegetable layers instead of pasta (because I don't eat pasta), so I think I should give them a try some time again. Zucchini might also work for that. Or carrots! I think I'd love that. :)Kath (My Funny Little Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10295143356577259844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-2055211975925706532011-07-21T22:21:39.949+10:002011-07-21T22:21:39.949+10:00Thanks Hannah - I learnt to cook such meals when I...Thanks Hannah - I learnt to cook such meals when I lived in share houses when I had people to help and didn't have to cook every night - wish I could share an afternoon in the kitchen with you - am sure you would find it easier if you had time and company when cooking<br /><br />Thanks Mel - will look forward to your vegan moussaka - and I must try ricki's faux meat - seems a great recipe<br /><br />Thanks Lorraine - yes I love the "meat" more than the real stuff - and I think you need a really substantial filling for this dish<br /><br />Thanks Keely - it was three pages of satisfaction and the moussaka kept very well over a few days though I think it would have been even better than next day if I had the parience to cook it more and make the topping really crispy.<br /><br />Thanks Anh - yes this is real comfort food<br /><br />Thanks Lexi - this dish makes me wish to eat more greek food because it is so good - and I like your attitude to dishes to cook solo!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-68394040110065737372011-07-20T23:38:46.364+10:002011-07-20T23:38:46.364+10:00My family is Greek, so I don't see the words &...My family is Greek, so I don't see the words 'vegetarian' and 'moussaka' together very often, but this looks delicious! I'm putting it on the list for next week. <br /><br />Hannah - I reckon this kind of thing is actually perfect for people cooking just for themselves: it reheats and freezes well and only tastes better after a couple of days. I'll make it if you do!lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803974098934443459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-68393113534047035012011-07-20T22:34:51.172+10:002011-07-20T22:34:51.172+10:00I can always rely on you for the best comfort vege...I can always rely on you for the best comfort vegetarian meals, Johanna.

I have always enjoyed cooking moussaka even though it is such a lengthy process, in fact I call it my labour of love. Funny that you mentioned other "meat" alternatives as I tried Ricki's ground "meat" last week and am writing a post about it.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-85932166952567277042011-07-19T22:34:25.914+10:002011-07-19T22:34:25.914+10:00Oh, Johanna, I bow down to you.
