#47282 - 05/09/03 04:11 PM Urgent plea for recipe help
Candice Johnson Member Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 416 Loc: Alexandria, VA	I am making deserts for this weekend and the recipe I have calls for fromage frais or Vanillla Fruche and lemon fromage fraise or lemon fruche It calls for these in the low-fat or light variety. Anyone have any idea what this stuff looks like and where I could get it? Thanks

I checked my handy-dandy FOOD LOVER'S COMPANION that my hubby gave me back in 1990. This is my source for finding out what these goofy ingredients are. fraise is the french word for strawberry fromage is the french word for cheese Sounds good to me. Sorry but fruche isn't even in the book! Share the recipe if it turns out, but please post it in English!

So I will just make a regular cheesecake without the strawberry, vanilla, or lemon cheese. Maybe I'm suppose to actually make the different cheese, but it doesn't say that in the recipe, and I don't think I'll try it this time.

My son recently made 4 different ones from there and they were gone before the event was even 1/2 over. My favorite of these and the one I've become famous for is their "Chocolate Cheesecake" recipe, from yearbook 1981!! I found it in the magazine and have been making it ever since. Now both my sons can and do make it. You can even use low or no fat ingredients, but it does taste best with the real stuff. I often serve with strawberries or raspberries on top/side.

swimbo56 Member Registered: 10/30/02 Posts: 68 Loc: Towson, MD	If you are looking for excellent cheesecake recipes look at Southern Living. My son recently made 4 different ones to accolades. One of those was our families favorite, "Chocolate Cheesecake" published in their 1981 book. I am now requested to bring and it has become a family tradition. I often serve with strawberries or raspberries on the top/side. It can be made with low or non-fat ingredients but does taste best with the real thing.

Candice Johnson Member Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 416 Loc: Alexandria, VA	The one I made was just from the Betty Crocker Web site and it turned out pretty good alittle dry on the edges, but very tasty with strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. I really like cheesecake and will try the chocolate one you mentioned from Southern Living. Does anyone know if there are any sugar free cheesecake recipes?

Spock53 Member Registered: 03/28/03 Posts: 7 Loc: Vulcan, Alberta, Canada	Hi to all, I was just reading the problem about the French words in your recipe. Here is a helpful site to have on hand for this problem. http://humanities.uchicago.edu/forms_unrest/FR-ENG.html Frais means fresh. I was born and raised in Quebec so I have a bit of french but not much left after living out west for 30 years. I keep this site and http://dictionary.reference.com on my favourites just in case.

Candice Johnson Member Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 416 Loc: Alexandria, VA	And here I thought I was doing a good thing by taking Spanish instead of French in school. Thanks for the help and now that I know what it all is, it's just a matter of finding a place that sells it. When Dean and Deluca have never heard of it, I start to think there is no hope.
