The Story & Intro
I still remember the first time I made Mixed Seafood Lasagna with Mozzarella on a breezy afternoon here in Crete. The windows were open, the sea air drifted into my kitchen, and my apron was already dusted with flour just the way my grandmother’s used to be. She always said that when cooking gets a little messy, it means love is involved. That memory comes back every time I layer pasta, creamy sauce, and tender seafood.
Hi, I’m INAYA, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece.

Food brings people together, especially women who love sharing comfort through cooking. This Mixed Seafood Lasagna with Mozzarella is one of those dishes that feels like a hug rich, cozy, but still elegant enough for guests.
I like to keep things simple but tasty, blending classic recipes with creativity. This Mixed Seafood Lasagna with Mozzarella does exactly that. Juicy shrimp, tender scallops, flaky fish, silky béchamel, and stretchy mozzarella all baked into one irresistible casserole. Whether you’re hosting a family dinner or treating yourself, this Mixed Seafood Lasagna with Mozzarella turns an ordinary night into something special.
