Sunnyvale, Ca. Lines: 21 [Living sacrifice to assuage the gods of first lines . . .] I recently tried the cheesecake recipe posted by John Hobson in January. Given that my highest rating for a cookbook cheesecake to date has been a 6, this was an easy 7. However, it is a rather light version of cheesecake (in fact, it cooks up like a souffle) and my tastes run to a heavier style. The next posting is a recipe from a friend at work, and I give it an 8 -- so you might guess it is on the heavy side. If there is anyone in netland who is familiar with the style of cheesecake popular at neighborhood Italian bakeries in Philadelphia, which are very heavy, and probably based on Ricotta cheese, I would VERY MUCH appreciate a recipe, or at least a pointer to one.
