 Sticking with fall themed foods, here is another pumpkin recipe. We had pumpkin cheesecake at a restaurant one night, and it was so good, we poked around for pumpkin cheesecake recipes on several of the recipe web sites. None of the ones we found were quite to our liking, but one somewhat like this was pretty close. On the first try, it cracked pretty badly. On the second time around I added the sour cream and another egg, and left it in the oven to cool more slowly – and viola, nary a crack to be seen. I think you’ll really like this, ‘tis the season!

Ingredients:
Crust:
2 Cups ground ginger snaps*
1/2 cup ground pecans
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 Cup butter, melted
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Filling:
3 – 8 ounce pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1 Cup pumpkin puree
5 eggs
1/2 Cup sour cream
1 1/2 Cup brown sugar
6 drops orange food color** (comes in the Fall assortment)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Crush ginger snaps in metal bowl with something real hard, like the handle of an ice cream scoop.

Grind the pecans in a food processor.

Combine the cookie crumbs, ground pecans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and melted butter in medium bowl; press into bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan.

(I’ve been told that a food processor will grind up the ginger snaps too, but so far, I’ve been too afraid of the noise to try it; they’re awfully hard.)

Combine remaining ingredients in a separate medium bowl, blending well, pour over crust.

Bake at 325 for 80 minutes, then turn oven off and leave cheesecake in oven to cool down for another hour before removing to countertop cool down for another hour before refrigerating. Cheesecake is best if allowed to “mellow” at least one or two days before serving.

* If you don’t have – and don’t want to wait until you get ginger snaps, you can substitute graham crackers. A graham cracker crust will work great, just isn’t as unique.

**If you don’t have orange food color, I bet you can figure out how to combine some red and yellow.

This past Saturday night, u café hosted a Cantorial Kumzits. Charlie Bernhaut and Cantor Benny Rogosnitzky presented their second monthly evening on the cantor’s art and great food.

There were some well known cantors and singers in the audience; Mr. Bernhaut, after a few words about his hopes to revive the love and appreciation for chazzanut, asked Asher Scharf to start out the evening of liturgical song.

Mr. Scharf, a seasoned professional, both a cantor and popular singer in the Jewish scene, clearly showed his art and the lessons gleaned from years of singing.

Next up was Ari Heinemam, who is the chazzan at a Brooklyn shull, although during the week he deals with Customer’s Relations at Pomegranate, NYC’s best stacked, cleanest and newest kosher supermarket. His selection was on the Birchas Kohanim - The Priestly Blessing. His melodious, sweet voice was magnificent! His phrasing flawless, his emotion powerfully obvious, as he intoned Yivorechecho Hashem veyishmerecho… veyosem lecho sholoim. May Hashem bless you and safeguard you… and establish for you peace.

Next up was Pinchas Ben Ari, u café’s owner. His energy, his movements to the cadence of the melody, his gestures as he intoned the different words, made it obvious he had suddenly transcended to another sphere, singing to a far higher audience than that of us – mere humans – sitting in his cafe.

Pinny, as he’s affectionately called, used to be a chazzan in New Jersey; he retired a few years back, from that position, but he showed  he still has most of what it takes.

The star of the evening, however, was none other than Yitzchok Meir Helfgott. Cantor Helfgott has a busy schedule of concerts around town as well as overseas. His December 2006 concert at the Metropolitan was phenomenal, he performed before a packed house of Jews and non-Jews.  On this particular Saturday evening, he did not strain himself but his voice showed a power and mastery far above anything we’d heard.

So, what great food did we partake of? I had a superbly seasoned Grilled Tuna with Sesame Ginger (tuna, coconut rice, grapevine tomatoes, white asparagus and fennel) while my oldest grandson had the Portobello Salad (portobello mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted peppers, mesclun salad, mozzarella with a Balsamic Vinaigrette), Penne alla Vodka with Smoked Salmon and a slice of “the best Cheese Cake” he “ever tasted.”

There is so much I need to catch up on. It has been my birthday so I have been taking it extra-easy and doing some stuff.

My parents came over on Sunday and we had roast beef! It was so yummy. They also bought birthday cake and a lemon cheese cake which was so ridiculously nice that I asked them to leave the two thirds that were left so I could be alone with it for a while. My sister bought me a lovely silver bracelet, and a book about Lolcats! My parents got me some smart work clothes, some kitchen things and some money They are also thinking about getting me a table and chairs for the house, maybe this or similar from John Lewis:

My sister also made me the sweetest little cake with marzipan icing:

During the week Ryan and I went to a wine tasting session at the bar I work at. Two french men came along from the wine companies that we stock from, and we tried many…many wines! Rather worst for wear at the end of the evening, after our amazing crisp rolls.

Thursday was my 22nd birthday! I had an interview in the morning, which meant I didnt get a lie-in, but I had a midday nap, and then Ryan came home from work. I opened all my presents, and we tidied the house for a mini-party we had in the evening. Here are some pictures of presents:

He also got me Frank Turner tickets for March in London, the cutest cupcake set with an icing bag, and fireworks for the party!! EEeeee!

I dont have any pictures from the party I was too busy chatting and drinking wine, and running around the garden lighting fireworks with incense sticks. Apparently Vawn took some photos of me bending over showing my ass off a load in the garden while I was lighting them, but I am yet to see that! I cant help it that my bum doesnt fit in my trousers! Thankyou everyone who came to our house that night it was really nice. Thankyou to Lauren and Vawn for my pretty necklaces, and to Jodi for my teddybear cake, and other Lauren for my HMV card:

Yesterday myself and Ryan went to Elizabeths of Eastgate in Rochester Highstreet, for a lovely meal. I wore a white summery (stupid for this weather) dress with green leaves and flowers around the bottom, with tights and a white cardigan, and Ryan looked lovely as usual in a shirt and trousers. We both had ‘cote de beouf’ with chunky chips and a red wine jus which was stunning, and we shared a chocolate brownie with fudge sauce, creme anglaise, and ice cream. So yummy!

Today I got up and I had a card and present from Elise made of Perler Beads:

So cute thankyou!

I have almost finished Batman: Arkham Asylum for the second time, playing through on hard and it seems to be ridiculously easy this time around, so it hasnt been taking long at all. I bought Ryan COD:MW2 for an early Christmas present, but I still need to finish WaW before I set to work on the new game. I also, of course, have Wet and Tombraider to play now! So many things to do haha…

I think today me and Ryan are going to make some cupcakes, and use my Hello Kitty cake mold for the first time. I hope they come out amazing

This has been quite a long post and I still havent included all the cute and amazing things I have found so far this week. Here is a quick round-up of a few things:

1. T-shirt Design by Split Reason

2 +3. Melinda and David House Tour at Apartment Therapy

4. Stanislav Katz furniture design (click image)

5. Kure Pod Dining Table and Chairs (click image)

6. Blooming Furniture Set (click image)

Yazın başladığım rejim denemesinin benim 3 kez üstüste feci şekilde faranjit olmamla birlikte hüsrana uğramasının ardından ben burger kingleri, kıymalı pideleri, KFCleri ve daha nicelerini götürmeye devam ettim. Eh bu kadar yatırım yapınca en son aldığım kıyafetlerin de içine sığamaz oldum tabi.

Şimdi boy bir yere kadar, yüz güzelliği de başka bir yere kadar kurtarabilir ama bir noktadan sonra bu obez yaşam modeline itiraz etmek gerekir düşüncesi ve bu konudaki ısrarların da etkisiyle 3 Aralık 2009 tarihinde hayatımda ilk kez diyetisyene gittim.  Diyet programını uygulamaya başladıktan sonraki ilk kontrol bugündü. Doktordan bir aferin aldıktan sonra diyete karşı kararlılığım arttı desem yalan olmaz. Kolay değil daha verilecek 20 kilo var. 1 ayda, 3 ayda, 1 senede almadım tabi ben bu kiloları. 4 sene emek verdim kendilerine. Eh bu kadar uızun süren obezlik nasıl oluyormuş deneyimi tersine çevirmek için de sanırım 1 sene gerekli. Aslında kiloyu vermek de değil korumak mesele. Şimdi ay hiç zorlanmıyorum çok kolay yapıyorum diyebilirdim aslında ama geçenlerde kafayı bulup da bilinçaltım ortaya dökülünce aslında rejim yaparken epeyce zorlandığım da ortaya çıktı. Kim brownie, cheese cake ve aklınıza gelebilecek her türlü tatlıyı sayıklar allah aşkına. Ben gözlerimi kapatınca gözlerimin önünden çikolatalı brownieler geçer oldu. Brownienin içindeki fındık ve cevizler o kadar gerçekçiydi ki nerede ise gerçekten yediğimi hissettim. Hele süslemek için üzerine koydukları vişnenin görüntüsü hala gözlerimin önünden gitmiyor. ya da çay içerken içine şeker atmamak için kuru kayısıdan miniminnacık lokmalar alıp bir bardak çay ile bir kuru kayısı yemeye çalışmak da başka bir macera oldu benim için. TATLI istiyorummmmmmmmmmmmmm diye bağırıyor bilincim ve bilinçaltım. İşte bu noktada diyetisyen faktörü çok önem kazanıyor. Olmayacak bir şey yersem kadına ne diyeceğimden ya da ya bana kötü bir şey derse ne yaparım ben diye o kadar çok korkuyorum ki çikolatalı kremalı tatlılar gözümün önünde geçit yapmaya başladığı anda aklıma bir sonraki kontrole kaç gün kaldığını getiriyorum. Hüüüüüppppp hepsi gidiyor.

Neyse şimdi size yemek tarifi verir gibi bir de diyet tarifi vereyim de bari beni bu kadar motive eden diyet ne imiş siz de görün.  Ehü ehü!!!!  pardon diyet değil, haziran ayında 38 beden bikini nasıl giyilir tarifi bu Eh kışa girdik sayılır, yaza çok kalmadı yani

Kahvaltı: Şekersiz çay, 2 kibrit kutusu kadar beyaz peynir, 2 ince dilim ekmek, 3 adet zeytin, domates, salatalık, yeşillik.

Ara Öğün: 1 meyve, 2 tüm ceviz

Öğle: 1 kase çorba, 2 köfte kadar et, 4 kaşık sebze yemeği, 2 yemek kaşığı pilav veya makarna, salata, 200 g yoğurt

Ara öğün: 1 meyve

Akşam: 1 kase çorba, 2 köfte kadar et, 4 kaşık sebze yemeği, 1 ince dilim ekmek, salata, 200 g yoğurt

Gece: 1 meyve, 1 su bardağı süt

İşte 38 beden olup plajlarda salınmanın formülü bu. Tabi uygulayana.

1/4 cup melted butter
24 oz cream cheese, softened

In a large bowl, cream remaining ingredients until well blended. Pour into spring-form pan.

Break up 8 Oreos and drop on top of the batter. Bake 45-60 minutes at 300 degrees F. Don’t over-bake your cheesecakes or they will crack on top.

One way to lighten your cheese cake and invest into a new taste is to introduce tofu!

Here is a simple recipe that will please anyone woorying about unwanted calories:
Baked Tofu Cheese Cake!

INGREDIENTS:

-Cream Cheese (Philadelphia): 230 g
-Tofu (kinu tofu): 200g (before pressing water out)
-Sugar: 70g (of your choice)
-Eggs: 2
-Vanilla bean pod: 1 (small) (if not available use vanilla essence)
-Soy milk: a little
-Flour: 2 tablespoons (flour of any kind is fine)
-Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon
-Biscuits (crushed to form a solid base under the cheese cake/optional)

RECIPE:

-Line the bottom of a oven cake mold with a layer of crushed biscuit.
You may do without it but it will help absorb excess water from tofu.

-Soften cream cheese to room temperature (you may warm it a bit inside a microwave oven) and mix with sugar.

-Once the cheese and sugar misture has become smooth, add the tofu by crushing it between your palms, addd the whole eggs and mix well with an eletric whisker until you obtain a smooth mixture.

-Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise and extract the inside (or use vanilla essence), mix it with some soy milk and add to the mixture. Mix well.

-The last three steps may be done with a food processor, but mixing all ingredients one by one give you a “right feel”!

-Pour the mixture inside the mold over the biscuit layer and flatten the surface with a spatula.

-Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake for 50 minutes r until you have obtained the right colour and a raising mound in the middle.

-If the colour even then is too white, raise temperature to 200 degrees Celsius and bake for 10 more minutes.

-Let cake completely cool down.
Only then may you take it out of its mold and leave it inside the refrigerator overnight before eating it.

Setting
Wunderbar zentral ist es gelegen, das Strozzi’s. Beim Tommy Hilfiger Shop an der Bahnhofstrasse die Passage durch, quer über den Innenhof und gleich auf der anderen Seite taucht es schon auf, das angesagte Café/Restaurant im nüchternen London-Chic. Im Sommer ist auch draussen gestuhlt, im grossstädtischen Innenhof, und es lässt sich gemütlich bei der grossen Fontäne ein Häppchen geniessen. Häppchen ist hier übrigens gleich das Stichwort: Das Strozzi’s empfiehlt sich für einen Snack oder Salat zwischendurch. Oder einfach nur einen Kaffee.

Das Strozzi’s hat sich übrigens erst vor kurzem ein kleines Facelift gegönnt. Die Besitzer definieren das leicht überarbeitete Konzept so: „Urbaner Schick, reduzierte Gemütlichkeit und dezent elegante Töne bestimmen das Ambiente“.

Karte
Tonangebend sind Salate, Pizzas und Pasta. Aber auch andere Gerichte stehen auf der Karte. Daneben gibt es auch wunderbare Kuchen…zum Beispiel einen fantastischen Cheese Cake!

Bedienung
Die junge Servicedame war nett und schnell. Der Manager hinter der Bar machte allerdings einen etwas rotzigen Eindruck und strahlte nun definitiv keine Gastlichkeit aus.

Preis
Auch hier gilt: Alles hat seinen Preis, besonders wenn das Lokal um den Paradeplatz gravitiert. Wir hatten zu zweit 2 x Salat (1 x Kichererbsen, Linsen und asiatischer Omlettsalat und 1 x asiatischer Omletsalat und Pastasalat), 1 x San Pellegrino und 1 x Chinotto = 55 Franken.

Harrys Tipp
Ein netter urbaner Ort mitten in der Stadt. Ideal zum Lunch oder an einem Samstag zum Verschnaufen nach einer Shoppingtour. Einfach nur einen Kaffee trinken oder auch etwas essen. Im Preis inbegriffen sind natürlich die schönen Leute, die man hier sehen kann.

Strozzi’s Fraumünster

There is only one type of cheesecake that I like – my Aunt Gail’s.  I have tried many others - New York, Montreal,  your grandmother’s, etc.  Sorry, they do nothing for me.  And also?  Chocolate cheesecake?  Whoever came up with THAT idea should be shot because really?  GROSS.

Last night I made Aunt Gail’s cheesecake for a dinner party I am going to this evening – here is the recipe – so simple yet so incredibly delicious!

Ingredients:

Crust – 2 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup extra-fine granulated sugar

Cake – 2 packages cream cheese, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup extra-fine granulated sugar, 2 eggs

Top – 1 pint sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 tablespoons extra-fine granulated sugar

Directions:

1.  combine crumbs, melted butter and sugar, press into spring-form cake pan

2.  combine cream cheese, sugar and eggs until smooth

3.  pour into crust

4.  bake at 350 for 20 minutes

5.  combine sour cream, sugar and vanilla

6.  pour on top of partially baked cheesecake

7.  bake for 10 minutes

8.  turn oven off and leave cheesecake inside for 45 minutes

9.  cool completely

10.  top with whatever fruit coulis you like (I did raspberries and blueberries because I had some in the freezer)

11.  enjoy!

add melted butter & sugar to crumbs for crust - OMG smells so good!!

press crust into springform cake pan

combine cream cheese, sugar & eggs

beat until smooth

LOVE LOVE LOVE my pink Kitchen-Aid standing mixer

pour into prepared crust (don't know why this photo looks so odd)

spread sour cream mixture on partially baked cheese cake - and back in the oven it goes

meanwhile, make your fruit coulis - blueberries & raspberries fresh-frozen from the summer

berries, a little sugar, some lemon zest & juice - so easy!

pour coulis when cool (again, not a great photo - I REALLY need a new camera ...)

Main article: Cake decorating

A chocolate cake decorated with icing, strawberries, and silvery sugar beads.

A slice of strawberry cake with garnishing of cucumber.

A finished cake is often enhanced by covering it with icing, or frosting, and toppings such as sprinkles, which are also known as “jimmies” in certain parts of the United States and “hundreds and thousands” in the United Kingdom. Frosting is usually made from powdered (icing) sugar, sometimes a fat of some sort, milk or cream, and often flavorings such as vanilla extract or cocoa powder. Some decorators use a rolled fondant icing. Commercial bakeries tend to use lard for the fat, and often whip the lard to introduce air bubbles. This makes the icing light and spreadable. Home bakers either use lard, butter, margarine or some combination thereof. Sprinkles are small firm pieces of sugar and oils that are colored with food coloring. In the late 20th century, new cake decorating products became available to the public. These include several specialized sprinkles and even methods to print pictures and transfer the image onto a cake.

Special tools are needed for more complex cake decorating, such as piping bags or syringes, and various piping tips. To use a piping bag or syringe, a piping tip is attached to the bag or syringe using a coupler. The bag or syringe is partially filled with icing which is sometimes colored. Using different piping tips and various techniques, a cake decorator can make many different designs. Basic decorating tips include open star, closed star, basketweave, round, drop flower, leaf, multi, petal, and specialty tips.

Chocolate layer cake with chocolate frosting and shaved chocolate topping

Royal icing, marzipan (or a less sweet version, known as almond paste), fondant icing (also known as sugarpaste) and buttercream are used as covering icings and to create decorations. Floral sugarcraft or wired sugar flowers are an important part of cake decoration. Cakes for special occasions, such as wedding cakes, are traditionally rich fruit cakes or occasionally Madeira cakes (also known as whisked or fatless sponge), that are covered with marzipan and either iced using royal icing or sugarpaste. They are finished with piped borders (made with royal icing) and adorned with a piped message, wired sugar flowers, hand-formed fondant flowers, marzipan fruit, piped flowers, or crystallized fruits or flowers such as grapes or violets.

Cakes are broadly divided into several categories, based primarily on ingredients and cooking techniques.

•    Yeast cakes are the oldest, and are very similar to yeast breads. Such cakes are often very traditional in form, and include such pastries as babka and stollen.

•    Cheesecakes use mostly some form of cheese (often cream cheese, mascarpone, ricotta or the like), and have very little to no flour component (though it sometimes appears in the form of a (often sweetened) crust). Cheesecakes are also very old, with evidence of honey-sweetened cakes dating back to ancient Greece.

•    Sponge cakes are thought to be the first of the non-yeast-based cakes and rely primarily on trapped air in a protein matrix (generally of beaten eggs) to provide leavening, sometimes with a bit of baking powder or other chemical leaven added as insurance. Such cakes include the Italian/Jewish pan di Spagna and the French Génoise. Highly decorated sponge cakes with lavish toppings are sometimes called gateau, after the French word for cake.

•    Butter cakes, including the pound cake and devil’s food cake, rely on the combination of butter, eggs, and sometimes baking powder to provide both lift and a moist texture.

•    Ruske Kape-these are round, coconut and chocolate-flavored cakes originating in the Balkan region specifically Bosnia and Serbia.

Beyond these classifications, cakes can be classified based on their appropriate accompaniment (such as coffee cake) and contents (e.g. fruitcake or flourless chocolate cake).

Some varieties of cake are widely available in the form of cake mixes, wherein some of the ingredients (usually flour, sugar, flavoring, baking powder, and sometimes some form of fat) are premixed, and the cook needs add only a few extra ingredients, usually eggs, water, and sometimes vegetable oil or butter. While the diversity of represented styles is limited, cake mixes do provide an easy and readily available homemade option for cooks who are not accomplished bakers.

När Nicklas var här häromdagen provade jag en helt ny variant av cheesecake som blev väldigt god. I alla fall om man gillar rosor och den lite parfymiga smak som de ger, vilket jag verkligen gör. Ett bra tips är att använda flytande smör (1 1/2 dl) istället för smält.

15 digestivekex
150 g smör

6 dl grädde
1 dl florsocker
100 gr cream cheese
2 msk rosenvatten
Nägra droppar röd karamellfärg
Rosor till garnering

Krossa kexen med exempelvis en ballongvisp och blanda med det smälta smöret. Tryck ut i botten av en rund form, gärna med löstagbara kanter. Vispa ihop florsocker, cream cheese och grädde till en fast smet. Blanda ner rosenvatten och karamellfärg tills smeten blir ljust rosa. Bred rosensmeten över kexblandningen och ställ i frys en timme, eller kyl ett dygn. Garnera med fina rosor. Ätbara finns att köpa i vissa matbutiker, de här söta rosa knopparna är bara dekoration.

Cake and pastry has become a part of various culinary cultures along the length and breadth of the world. One of the staple foods for westerners, it has crossed geographical boundaries and made its way to the eastern world. It has been merged with the traditions of the eastern countries. Natives of the eastern countries celebrate most of the occasions with a pie of cake and pastry.

Cheesecake is one of the most delicious and delectable cakes. All the rage with vacationers and holiday makers, it is a popular dessert across the globe. It is usually made of dairy products like ricotta cheese, quark, havarti or cream cheese. Sugar, cream, fruit and eggs are among other ingredients that add flavor to it. Cheesecakes are of several types, each with distinct essence.

Invented in 1872 and made from cream cheese, the old American style cheese cake is a mouth-watering cake. Different from the American one in taste, New York style cheese cake is made of cream cheese with heavy cream and egg yolks. Rich in essence, it is also known as Jewish style cheesecake. Another cheesecake made of cream, Chicago style cheesecake is creamy inside and solid outside.

Made of a tangy kind of cottage cheese, Pennsylvania Dutch style cheesecake retains a unique and unusual taste. Low in water content but high in curd content, this cottage cheesecake is called farmer’s cheesecake. A ricotta-like cheese and honey are the chief ingredients of Roman style cheesecake. Having a pie of it is a tradition with Romans till date.

Chocolate Butterflies : The best source for great quality Beech’s Chocolate Butterflies, made in the UK since 1929. A perfect gift.
