Burgers, Cheescake, Appetizers, Oh My! February 13. 2007
This weekend was spent cooking. We made Pate, used in Zuchini rollups, a "cheese" cake and walnut burgers.
Having gained quite a bit of experience in raw cooking, I was prepared for the worst and hoped for the best. I read each recipe carefully so I could plan. Cheesecake needed 20 hours of prep time, pate needed overnight soaking and then dehydrating, and the walnut burgers needed just a short soak and a short dehydrate.
First the cheesecake.
We went and bought a springform cake pan. This I think made things easier. I found the recipe online, http://www.rawguru.com/recipe36.html, which for some reason required a 10 hour waiting period. Having made "cheese" from nuts in the past, I thought that there would be some separation of the whey and the nut mixture, but there was nothing, except a waste of 10 hours. I am going to make this cheescake again without the wait.
Overall, the cheesecake came out quite well. It is not difficult to make, just very time consuming - but so is regular cooked cheesecake. The crust is very delicious and can be used as a base for many other things such as tarts.
My only issues with this recipe were:
