From: New York's 25: Taste Of Greece - Oct 16-Nov 18, 2006 "Greek cuisine is truly a natural cuisine. It exemplifies garden to table cooking," says chef Marc Meyer. He says he "loves" Greek yogurt. "I've always been fascinated by the fact that its use runs the gamut from sweet to savory. In the States we think of yogurt as a sweet or a bedtime snack. But it makes a great sauce or marinade and I wanted to incorporate it in that way." - Chef Marc Meyer of Five Points
