16 oz cream cheese
1 pt (500 ml) sour cream
5 eggs
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla (or almond)
Directions
Cream the cream cheese, then add the ingredients in the order given-
one at a time. Pour into a spring form pan on top of a graham wafer
crust. Bake at 325 degree oven for one hour, then turn off the oven,
do not open the door for one hour. If you have a self-cleaning oven,
you will need to open the door just a little, and prop it open for
the hour (I find a folded grocery bag is the right size). Remove
from oven, and put the cake into the fridge (after it cools) for
about 8 hours.
Top with fruit- cherry pie filling, fresh or frozen strawberries,
etc., then with a dollop of whipped cream.
Servings: 16 servings

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed back into ancient history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created a torrent in books on cookery, most of which are now in private libraries. The TV revolution brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Awesome Cheesecake recipe.
