Cheesecake: not for every day, but oh so gorgeous for very special days. This cookbook is prepared for those who must live gluten free in their food choices but who still want to be able to enjoy a delicious treat every now and then. The 10 cheesecake recipes contained within are all cooked cheesecakes, most with a fruit topping. The author Carol Tansey has ingeniously made these recipes as tasty and varied as any non gluten free selection. Her experience as a chef and caterer have helped her design, test and perfect the cheesecakes she offers in this book. Her education in nutrition and health management, as well as her own experience in living gluten free helped guide her in developing healthy dessert options for friends, family and entertaining. There is great variety and delicious taste with no feeling of denial or limitation in these 10 recipes. Some of the cheesecakes use just cream cheese, others include sour cream, cottage cheese and whipping cream to vary the taste from light to rich, tangy to smooth. The recipes are simple to follow, the ingredients easy to find and each cheesecake is represented by a full color photo to whet your appetite.
