Moussaka for the lazy - I have a very special place in my heart for moussaka. Almost four years ago, I made my very first trip to visit my Chief Culinary Consultant in DC for the weekend. Serve the moussaka with a chunky tomato, cucumber, parsley and mint salad and crusty bread. This dish can be prepared in advance until the point before it goes in the oven. For now, I've chosen the easiest we can start with. Once you get the basics down you'll easily substitute ingredients and decide what flavors you like the best. Check the potatoes and prolong the cooking time if they. Thank you and good luck
