1 cup flour
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 tsp lemon zest, grated
1 ; ice water, as needed
1/2 tsp vanilla

40 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 tsp lemon zest
1 3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp orange zest
3 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp vanilla

springform sides over the baked base. Roll the remaining dough 1/8
inch thick and cut to fit the sides of the pan, pressing firmly to
fit and seal the base. Trim the dough to come only 3/4 inches up the
sides.

Turn oven up to 550 degrees.

Cream cheese with sugar and flour until smooth. Add eggs and two
addi- tional yolks one at a time and blend. Add the flavorings and
cream, mix well, and pour into prepared springform. Bake at 550
degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, then reduce temperature to 200 degrees
and continue to bake for one hour. Cool the cake to room temperature
before glazing. Submitted By SAM WARING

The History of Recipes

It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.

Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, rue and dill.

Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations created an explosion in books on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private collections.

By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, more leisure time and having more disposable income.
