Sylvia's Cheesecake Recipes (raspberry goo optional)
from Sylvia beadlizard, 3/15/03:
Two good recipes, one a standard cheesecake, especially nice with a bit of raspberry goo swirled in the middle before baking (raspberries reduced with a bit of sugar), one a heavier, layered cheese pie that's got to be illegal it's so rich. Sorry the format's wonky with my new email addy.
