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

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The lamb was a bit dry, but the sauce was flavorful. I would probably make a few changes next time, but I would definitely make it again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out like the pictures. The lamb was dry and the sauce was runny. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

The sauce was a bit too thick. I would recommend adding more liquid or using a different type of yogurt.

The lamb was a bit dry. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time or using a different cut of lamb.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or adding some lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.
