Recipe By : D'Amico's Restaurant Cookbook, 1984 Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #269 Date: Mon, 28 Oct 1996 22:23:35 -0800 From: Rooby <rooby@shell.masterpiece.com> NOTES : When I was newly divorced with two small children and had just moved back to Seattle from Montana, D'Amico's was in the underground shopping mall downtown called Rainier Square. (I think they're still there.) They served fabulous soups, salads, and DESSERTS, so you KNOW I bought the cookbook when it was published. This cheesecake is heavenly, and I've made it many times through the years. MC formatted 10/29/96 by rooby@shell.masterpiece.com
