14:47:48 +0000 Here is the recipe for the  strawberry glazed cheesecake
as made by the world famous Lindy's  Restaurant in New York City back
in its heyday.  Make the cookie crust first. Preheat the oven to 400
degrees. Mix the  flour, sugar, lemon rind and the scrapings from the
inside of the  vanilla bean together. Add the egg yolk and butter. Use
your hands to  mix until blended. Pat or spread onto the bottom and
sides of a (10")  pie pan. Bake until lightly browned (about 10
minutes). Set aside.  Prepare the filling next. Reduce the oven
temperature to 250 degrees.  Have all ingredients at room temperature
before starting. Cream the  cheese until soft. Beat in the next 5
ingredients. Add the eggs and  the egg yolk one at a time, beating
thoroughly after each addition.  Stir in the cream. Pour into the baked
cookie crust. Bake until firm  (about 1 hour). Cool. Prepare the
strawberry glaze next. Wash and  hull the berries. >From those berries,
select enough small or  misshapen berries that, when crushed, will make
the specified amount  of pulp. Put those berries through a strainer
(keep the remainder of  the berries whole). Combine the crushed
berries, sugar, cold water,  salt and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring
to a boil, stirring  steadily. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Stir in the  butter. Add enough food coloring to obtain the desired
degree of  redness. Cool slightly. Arrange the whole strawberries on
top of the  cheesecake. Spoon the glaze over the berries and the top of
the  cheesecake.  REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES  /DESSERTS  From
