Yes it is Greek. A recipe of a very common and delicious dessert familiar to all grown up in Greece. And yes, for us who have tasted and loved it, this brings oh, so many memories from home!
I only know a little greek, and her handwriting and shorthand are a bit baffling to me, but you're looking at a recipe for Ravani: http://www.greekinternetmarket.com/recipes/ravani.php
I can make out her ingredients, but the main text of the recipe is beyond me. Anyway, it calls for:
5 eggs 1 1/3 cup(?) sugar 1/2 cup water 1 1/3 cup semolina flour 2 lemons, the (peel? zest?) only 2 tsp(?) vanilla 1 cup flour
I think this is a recipe written in Greek.
My fiancee, who is a bit of a language freak confirms that it is Greek, but sadly doesn't know enough to translate.
