I served the leftovers to my husband and my parents this evening and they were blown away!
I also made the ice cream from scratch from maple syrup, ice, cashews, vanilla and black currant juice and it was yummy!
My father was also amazed at how much the tzaziki tasted like the real thing and was intrigued by the raw caviar. My mom was crazy about the butternut squash spaghetti and wants to get the tool to make it with.
