I’ve been experimenting lately with a vegetarian version of moussaka, and it blew me away how rich and comforting it still is — the layers of eggplant, béchamel, and tomato sauce are just perfect.

Fun fact: while looking into moussaka’s history, I found out about Cat Cora, the first-ever female Iron Chef, who celebrates her Greek heritage through dishes like this. It reminded me how much of the Mediterranean diet is about tradition and fresh ingredients.

On top of that, I’m currently playing in a trivia challenge where the prize is a free trip to Greece 🏛️ — so I figured, what better way to get in the mood than cooking Mediterranean staples at home?

    Do you think I could add some texturized soy?
