Mousaka

I wanted to start this blog with my favourite food of all time. Spanokopita. Filo pastry brushed with olive oil and thinly layered with a spinach, feta, dill and egg filling. I could happily eat this dish morning, noon and night. The enjoyment I have had in the making and eating of this dish (from the age of about 8 or 9) marked my first sense of pride in my Greek heritage and my first feeling of passion and pleasure for cooking and combining ingredients. The recipe I have always followed (I know of the existence of no better one) was borrowed from my Yia Yia (grandmother).
