The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Thank you to the one (s) who discovered this company cheesecake recipe and posted it. I discovered it as a young girl while looking at deserts in her Joy of Cooking cookbook by Irma B., 1960s issue. In a forest fire I lost all my books and was very excited to find this recipe as I am a full time Culinary Arts student :)

Wonderful recipe. I did let it sit for about 20 minutes before baking and also put a pie tin of water on the bottom rack in the oven. Cooking time was right on. Cake is not quite as dark as in the picture. Scraping from the side tasted wonderful. This was made for a cake auction for the Lioness Club, hope it brings in big bucks. :-)
