Hi Ricki! Just curious, I don’t have any barley flour (and I may not have enough spelt flour). Do you think I could substitute wheat flour (perhaps half white and half white wheat)?

I missed this story before. How beautiful. Your descriptions are achingly vivid.

When I can get my hands on some cashew butter and agave nectar, I am going to try this.

[...] You can find the recipe here, and it will be appearing in Ricki’s up-coming cookbook Sweet Freedom, available May 15th! Sweet Freedom is more than just another vegan dessert book! It’s about the freedom to enjoy desserts even if you normally can’t due to allergies and dietary restrictions, with about a quarter of the book featuring gluten-free or grain-free recipes! Ricki shows you that you can snub refined flours and sugars and still rub elbows with mouth-watering treats – yippie! You can read more about the cookbook here, or visit the official Sweet Freedom blog to drool over the amazing photos and check her Diet, Dessert and Dogs blog where she has shared some of the upcoming recipes.

Wonderfully moving story! I’m so glad I followed Shelly’s link here, though I was expecting a vegan potato boat recipe, LOL! Now I really want to try the cheesecake! I hate the vegan ones I’ve made with Tofutti cream cheese and I really like the idea of making this richer with the cashew butter.

Yeah, tho’ American Idol can be a tear jerker sometimes, but the memories of childhood and mother does bring back all the flooding once again, I would not attempt this cheesecake bec. some of the ingredients are hard to get, unless you can substitute )spelt flour, the nectar, but it’s the most unusual once I’ve encountered so far esp. with the criss-cross topping. Great work and kudos to all mums.

Am I really wrong to wish I had the original recipe? hmm…

Will have to try this one, looks delish.

What a beautiful story Ricki. Food conjures up so many memories, both good and bad. Baking is such a wonderful way to keep those that have passed close to our hearts.
This cheesecake recipe sounds so delicious. I love the crisscrossing on the top, very fancy. And of course, beautiful writing and photos as well!

Every time I read one of your posts I think you’ve outdone yourself—and this one is no exception. Wonderful story, beautiful food.

Amanda,
Thanks so much, and thanks for visiting my blog! (And it’s always a good idea to call Mom, anyway, right?)

Sarah,
Thanks so much. It was fun to participate in this event and think about all those recipes from my childhood! Looking forward to checking out everyone’s entries on the roundup.
