1 recipe 9-inch double crust pastry
8 oz cream cheese (1 package)
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1 tsp vanilla
42 oz tart cherry pie filling (2 cans)
Directions
Here is an adaption of the old fashioned pizza. I know that it uses a
canned pie filling, but you can also use your own pie filling. The
canned is only used for speed.
Roll out the pastry and put on a 16 inch pizza pan. Bake 15 minutes
at 350 degrees F. Blend the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, walnuts and
vanilla together until well blended. Pour into the pie crust and bake
an additional 10 minutes. Cool until cold and top with the cherry
pie filling. Top with whipped cream, if desired.

The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes back into history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two recipe books published in the 1300s ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the rich and powerful. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are in great demand, as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
