We just tried your recipe and blogged about it on http://www.ibeafoodie.wordpress.com. We chose the recipe because the ingredients are all friendly for someone cooking for Inflammatory Bowel Disease diet. Thanks for the recipe!!!

Pine nut cream? Very impressive . The layered eggplant makes it look so filling!

It looks divine. I keep working with blunt knives for fear of chopping my nails off…

Tracey C,

You could do a vegan bechamel sauce. Melt two tablespoons margerine (you can do this with oil, but it doesn’t work as well) over med heat in a sauce pan, then sift in two T flour. Cook, stirring regularly until the flour-oil mixture is golden brown. Slowly incorporate two cups almond milk (or some other non-soy milk), whisking in a little at a time (at first it will clump up, then smooth out). Simmer until thickish then season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

I made a moussaka from Vegetarian Times a little while back, and it was so tasty. I’ll definitely be trying this as well. Thanks for sharing!

Mmmm, this looks fantastic! I wish (my) Chris would eat eggplant, but he won’t go near it.

I adore moussaka, but it’s usually too heavy for me. This sounds fantastic! However, I don’t like pine nuts. Do you think I could substitute a cashew cream instead?

I was all excited about a vegan cream sauce (I recently had to give up dairy), until I saw all the soy-based replacements (had to give up soy as well). Any pointers to cookbooks/sites that do soy-free vegan cookery?

(This looks scrumptious, btw.)
