moussaka

It's a hand that has also won rave accolades for her mousakka, and her stuffed vine leaves are among the best I have tasted as she uses the vine leaves from their own grapes to secure these mini parcels of deliciousness.

The chicken meli is exquisite, while the mousakka was brimming with flavour.

For our main courses Jo opted for a vegetarian Mousakka at pounds 8 while I chose a Lameh Belkouder, lamb cooked with onions, potatoes, peppers and coriander, at pounds 9.50.

10Forthcoming films include the British thriller Mousakka And Chips.

MOUSAKKA - layers of potatoes, aubergines and minced meat covered with a mouth-watering white sauce and baked.

Forget the meatballs and mousakka enjoyed at the local taverna; be prepared instead for contemporary Cypriot cuisine of fresh figs flattered with kefalotiri cheese and duck draped with green walnut preserve.

For us that included lamb three ways - chop, mini Mousakka and fillet.
