In case you would like a couple more raisin dookierecipes, I have 2 that have been in my husband's family practically forever. They always disappear quickly! I am not sure, but the second recipe may be similar to one already posted.
I would be interested in some traditional Greek desserts, if you wouldn't mind posting them! Thanks!
