This may be a stupid question, but, what is a "vegan"?? Is that short for vegetarian?

Cathy:

That's not a stupid question at all. A vegan is a vegetarian that doesn't even eat eggs, they stay away from products tested on animals and they don't believe in using animal products like furs, leather,etc.the vegan recipes use soy and other substitutes for dairy,etc.

Yes, I will be happy to submit my ricotta cheesecake recipe for you. I just need to dig it out! I make my own ricotta cheese and am waiting for fresh milk as I type, any day now!! So I have notrecently made any cheese nor cheesecake.

Beth:

I would love to have your recipe when you find it. I can't believe you make your own cheese and I bet it tastes wonderful. I've never tried anything like that. I really appreciate you getting back to me and I'll wait to hear from you again.

Hi, I saw your link on Discuss Cooking, nice site. I have not looked at all your recipes, but do you only use creamcheese in your cheesecakes? I am used to only using ricotta cheese and wonder if you have any recipes using ricotta cheese? Thanks, Beth

Beth:

I was happy to have you contact me. I just recently joined Discuss Cooking and I enjoy reading through the forums.

So far I think I only have two recipes on my site using ricotta cheese...the Diabetic Chocolate Cheesecake and the Low Carb New York Style Cheesecake Would you be interested in sharing some of the recipes you have using the ricotta?

Thanks again for contacting me and I hope to hear from you again or on the forum.

Hi there...

I love cooking and trying out new food.. My friend introduced me to your site because I wanted to try cheesecakes now. Thank you for sharing all the wonderful recipes with very detailed explanations. Those explanations sure help. Anyhow, my only suggestion for you is, if possible put more pictures withyour recipe. It will sure look more delicious with pictures. Thanks again.

Sara,

I was happy to have you contact me with your comments and suggestions. I have had quite a few people tell me the same thing about the pictures so I plan on working on that soon. Over the years I haven't taken pictures as I have made the cheesecakes and now I want to start taking pictures of each one as I make it.

I just started my web site in December and I have been so focused on putting information on it that I have not been making a lot of cheesecakes. That is going to be one of the next things on my list.

I hope you keep checking back to see what is new. Please let me know if you have any further suggestions or questions you may have.

My family is opening a restaurant and want me to make cheesecakes for them. I wanted to know what you would recommend I use to package them in for freezing? I use a spring form pan to bake them in, but it's usually hard to get the cheesecake to come off the bottom and transfer to a plate. Thanks!

Kim,

I would suggest wrapping the cooled cheesecake well with plastic wrap, making sure to seal completely. and make sure all of the air is out. I would then wrap well with aluminum foil and freeze. The cheesecake should taste fresh baked when defrosted. I wouldn't recommend freezing for more than 3 months.

An easy way to remove the cake from the pan is to line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper or waxed paper before putting the crust and filling in. The cake should slide right off the bottom with no problem.

Best wishes to you and your family with your restaurant. I was happy to have you contact me with your question.
