we love this place! the greek salad is better than most with fresh herbs and the best grape leaves ever. the hot smoked eggplant puree is excellent and the white bean salad is awesome too. that's not to mention the non veg options that are great too.

i would tie it up with use a scale in metric and don't be a slob, clean as you go

for the record, cheesecake is one of those god's gift to the sugar free world. i have been making my "secret recipe" cheesecake for many years, with sugar or with splenda replacing half the volume (not weight, very important) of sugar. it tastes great either way, hardly a difference in flavor if you cut the splenda to sugar ratio down. the only tricky part is a nice choice of base.

the pistache looks delicious, i am a huge fan of theirs.
