WHAT MAKES ME AN "INFORMED" FOOD BLOGGER
I am CURRENTLY a PRACTICING PHYSICIAN .
However, I did complete TWO YEARS of college studying GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY, Food technology,Food Microbiology and Biochemistry prior to deciding that I am more inclined to the CLINICAL SIDE of things and hence decided to get into MEDICAL SCIENCE .
I did very well in medical school thereafter and am now a "kick-ass" doctor .
My interest in "Food" and the "Science of cooking" continues to this day and explains why I now have a Food blog as part of my LECINQBLOG family of Blogs
I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.
Good chef meets GOOD DOCTOR meets good writer=Informative food blog, no?

| NEWYORK STYLE CHEESECAKE |
I already knocked myself out writing a blog entry about my favorite dessert THE CHEESECAKE a few weeks ago.
I had posted a picture of the first ever cheesecake that I baked at home ALL by myself using my own recipe ,way back in 2007 in that blog entry.
Now,after reading that blog entry, people want to see a BIGGER, CLOSE UP of that cake.
So, that calls for a PART TWO of the cheesecake blog entry.
This time I am going to talk MORE ABOUT WHAT MAKES A PERFECT CHEESECAKE
FEATURES OF A GOOD CHEESECAKE BASE
1/It should be of even thickness.It should neither be too thick nor too thin.Look at my picture to see what is a good thickness ( I can't believe it was my first attempt)
2/It should be crisp even after baking and continue to remain crisp even during the days of storage in your fridge(as if people are not going to gobble it up the very day you make it)
3/It should not be too sweet
4/It should not have any biscuit base on the sides.Biscuit base is just for the base.(Duh, that is why it is called a base/That means the cheesecake mixture must be good enough to be able to stand strong on its own)
FEATURES OF A GOOD CHEESECAKE FILLING
1/It should be plain(I have explained about this in my previous entry about cheesecake,read there)
2/The top of the filling should not have cracks.(look at my picture, that is how it must look)
3/The whole height of the filling should NOT HAVE ANY HOLES or airpockets in it.
4/It should have a smooth mouth feel after you put it into your mouth
5/It should have an even creamy color
6/It should not be too sweet
7/It should not be brown or burnt anywhere, nor in the filling ,nor in the base or anywhere else.
POSTNOTE: Recipes not included due to plagiarism concerns.I device and design my own recipes all the time and I am saving up all recipes for a FUTURE VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK.
