Kreikan matkojen myötä heräsi tahto tehdä itse Moussakaa. Montaa reseptiä tuli kokeiltua, mutta lopputulos oli aina enemmän tai vähemmän väärä. Erityisesti valkokastikkeen ohje vaihteli laidasta laitaan. Lopulta kertyneen kokemuksen ja tämän kirjan avulla löytyi sellainen resepti, josta on voinut nauttia.
