I found the Moussaka recipe… thanks to your website! I’m preparing this dish for tomorow to celebrate the “European week” going on at the moment in the French School of The Hague. I am representing Greece and I need to submit the recipe both in French and in Greek language. Is there someone who can translate this for me please???
I thank you very much in advance…
