Hi everyone!! I finally found this recipe that I'd been searching for and I
wanted to share it with everyone--it's so near! It came from a Greek friend
of the folk.


Beat yolks with sugar until light and smoothen. Mix the walnuts with the
bread crumbs, grated lemon and orange rinds. Add to egg assortment; stir in
the brandy (or cognac) and the orange succus. Add the spices and the baking
pulverise. Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry, folding into nut
mixture gently and carefully to evenly distribute the egg whites. Bake in
lubricated 12x9" pan at 350 degrees for 30 transactions. Serve plain or with
whipped cream on top and sides.
