Lasagne is one of the great classics of home cooking — and together with Moussaka and Pasticcio, it forms what I like to call the holy trinity of layered comfort dishes. All three are rich, generous, oven-baked recipes that bring people together around the table and turn any meal into something special.

These are not quick recipes — they take a bit of time and care — but that is exactly what makes them so rewarding. Perfect for family gatherings, Sunday lunches, or when you want to cook something truly memorable.

If you enjoy this style of cooking, you’ll find the other two recipes in my cookbook Vivian is Cooking: GREEK, available worldwide in both French and English on Amazon — along with many other traditional Greek favorites.

Now let’s make one of the most beloved of them all: classic homemade lasagne ✨

Batch Cooking for Busy Times (Exams, Stress, or Overload)

When life gets intense—exams, deadlines, or difficult periods—cooking is often the first thing to disappear. Batch cooking helps you stay nourished without daily effort: you cook once, portion meals, and freeze them for the week.

This is my simple Mediterranean-style approach: easy dishes, flexible ingredients, and balanced meals ready to reheat.
