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
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the early Romans made use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and dill. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs led to a surge in publications on food, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. |
