De Postelse Hoeve
Dr. Deelenlaan 10
5042 AD Tilburg
http://www.depostelsehoeve.nl/index.php?id=91
For a quick lunch today we went to De Postelse Hoeve. A typical hotel menu with hotel prices. Presentation is good. Service is excellent. They still really know how to serve a drink. Not seen in many Horeca these days.
Chose two starters in stead of the 'normal' menu. The Tuna was oké but not what you expect for this price. Could be better quality Tuna. The shrimps were much better and perfectly cooked. Although for these prices ...
The company was good and that makes up for everything :-)

Cheese Cake - NY Style
My best recipies : NY Style Lemon Cheesecake
200 gr - Butter cookies
60 gr - Butter
tin of 25 centimeters
preheat oven at 180 degrees*
Melt the butter, put in a blender together with the cookies. Put this on the bottom of your tin. Put in preheated oven of 180 degrees and bake in about 10-12 minutes. Take it out the oven and let it rest and cool down.
turn down oven to 150 degrees*
part 1
900 gr - Creamcheese - natural
275 gr - Sugar
175 gr - Sour cream
3 spoons - flour
2 vanilla pods - cut in half and scrape out the vanilla
1/2 jar - lemon curd**
part 2
4 eggs
2 egg yolks
baking paper
hint of butter or oil
Put all the ingredients (part 1) in your kitchen machine, or do it by hand (than ask for help for the next step). When mixed add (part 2) 4 eggs. One after the other, start with next egg if the previous one is well adopted by the batter. Afterwards do the same with the egg yolks.
take baking paper - cut in strokes and put them on the inside of the tin (against the sides) Let is stick out about 2-3 centimeters above the sides. You can use a bit of butter to stick it up to the sides. Of course after your nice cookie 'foundation' is cooled off.
Pour the 'batter' into the tin (about 1 - 1,5 centimeters below the sides), put in middle of the oven and bake for 90 - 110 minutes. You can get a nicer color (top) if you increase the heat for the last 5-10 minutes for 20 degrees. (Also: make the paper not stick out too much of the walls, this will result in a top without any color) If you have batter left put it in a small tin, make a bottom if you want and put it also in the oven. Small tins needs at least 1 hour.
Always better to bake a little longer on lower temperature. If in a hurry don't use a higher temperature. This needs is slow baking times.
Take it out the oven and let it cool down for at least 2 hours. After that put it in the fridge overnight. Next day you'll have a beautiful Cheesecake. You can top it off with some lemon curd if you want. Depends on your 'sweet & sour' likings :-)
You can use all kinds of fruit to play with the flavors. Banana (use at least 3), or use Blueberries (whole berry and blend a few) - use this instead of the lemon curd. Play a little with the batter, should not be to thin but certainly not too thick as well.
* modern equipment tend to do better with lower (10-20 degrees) temperatures.
** lemon curd can be bought with speciality food shops or make yourself :-)
