This is a moussaka, a dish originated in the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean. Traditionally, it’s made by layering eggplant or potato with ground meat and then oven-baked to perfection! The moussaka it’s great by itself, but if you want to try a different approach, roll the meat in eggplant and prepare for a whole new experience!

I’m Raluca and I just peeled a peach before eating it, and I swear it tasted like the nectar of the gods. When it comes to cooking, I only have one rule: do whatever it takes to turn the whole thing into an enjoyable experience. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of cooking for sailors. Not because I loved food, but because I was madly in love with my godfather, who worked on a ship. But, as they say, love lasts three years, and I took a different path: I became a journalist who enjoys food, traveling, and hiking in nature. I usually cook for myself and my daughter, but my favorite meal is the one I'm having on a mountain peak, even if it's just a sandwich and a piece of chocolate.
