Well to talk about his other recipes, we use his recipe for moussaka. It's the best I've ever had, not greasy, not tomatoey, just right. I do peel the eggplant, since I seem to be allergic to something in the skin, but follow the recipe otherwise. We also use his recipe for corned beef, BUT, we are both getting more sensitive to salt as we get older, so we have started soaking the corned beef in some plain water for several hours before cooking to draw out some of the salt.
