I made is recipe to go with your Recipe for Fennel Gratin. Cut the recipe in half. This worked out very nice. Thank you Evelyn.

Great for using in Lasagna. Easy, quick and good. i usually add some grated parmesan at the end. -
This was prefect. I wouldn't change a thing, made my lasagna perfect. Many thanks :)

Love this sauce! I made a half recipe and used it to jazz up a leftover lasagna that looked a little on the dry side. It totally changed leftovers into something great. I am actually going to use it as a layer in my next lasagna because it is so yummy. I added parmesan cheese and garlic seasoning. Thx so much Evelyn!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
