After the limoncello and hazelnut cheesecakes made for him in Italy, Donato is finally made a believer at the dr bob cooking school USA center by the even better guavaberry/lingonberry cheesecake.
This is the 2-for-1 version, where one full recipe is fit into an 8 inch pan and 7 inch pan (they stack when not in use!) to use for two separate audiences without overwhelming either one.
Proud cooking school student, ready to return to Italy with a jar of lingonberry preserves from IKEA and a sample of guavaberry liqueur from the dr bob private stock, hopefully to repeat this success on his own.
While there he learns about blueberry buckwheat pancakes.
