- 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.
