Lately I’ve been a little obsessed with cheesecake. Which is odd because I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. It started with the cookbook that I am writing. I needed a dessert chapter and decided that cheesecake would work particularly well for the theme of the cookbook. I needed ten cheesecake variations for the book. But as I perfected the basic recipe and mastered the techniques for getting a creamy, uncracked cheesecake, I found myself inspired at every corner and thinking about cheesecake all the time. My list of cheesecake variations is up to almost 40 now (and I’m highly confident in the vast majority of them, there are only a couple that I’m not sure about and just need to try them to see if they work).
I’d love to write a cheesecake cookbook with a gorgeous photo of each one. All I’d need is a food stylist/photographer and some time to test them all. Anyone interested in funding this little venture? Not sure we could make a lot of money but you’d definitely get all the cheesecake you care to eat! A quick search of Amazon returned more than 3,000 cheesecake cookbook titles, so maybe the world doesn’t really need another one. Then again, we don’t eat cheesecake because we need to.
I’ll include a new cheesecake recipe inspired by a recent vacation in an upcoming entry, so stay tuned…
