CHEF JOEY'S VEGAN TOFU CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350'F.
• The first three ingredients are for the Graham Crust.
• Put the graham crackers in a food processor and process to break them up into a fine powder. Then add the sugar, then the melted margarine. Pulse to incorporate.
• Press the crust into a greased 9 inch spring form pan. Bake at 350'F for 10 minutes. Let cool.
• Put your tofu and cream cheese in the bowl of a hand mixer (I used my kitchen aid) and whip until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
• Add the remaining ingredients and whip again until well incorporated.
• Pour into the spring form pan with the graham crust and bake at 350'F for 45-50 minutes. Turn off the oven.
• Let sit for 15 more minutes to allow the cake to settle. It should be lightly golden round the edges and should have pulled away from the sides of the cake tin.
• It will wiggle if you shake it slightly. I also gently touched the top and it sprang back.
• Remove the cake from the oven and place on a cooling rack for at least one hour. Then, put in fridge for at least 3 more hours.
• Check your cake as it bakes, you don't want it to burn.
• When you cut a piece of this put a paper towel in the cut section as it will absorb any moisture and prevent soggyness on the bottom of the cake.
• Bon Appetit!

CHEF JOEY'S HERB & ONION BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place all the wet ingredients, including the onion in the bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Keeping in mind that the liquids should go in first and the yeast very last.
• I baked this 1 1/2 lb. loaf on the basic rapid cycle.

CHEF JOEY'S VEGAN PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor add the spelt, whole wheat, corn flours, sugar, herbs, baking powder and baking soda.
• Process these dry ingredients well, making sure all the ingredients are combined.
• Using a whisk, in a different bowl mix the yogurt and oil well. Add it through the feeding tube of the food processor until the dough forms a ball.
• The dough will be sticky. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead for a few minutes until the dough is less sticky and easy to handle.
• Don't add too much more flour however, you don't want the dough to be tough.
• Put the dough into a bowl to rest and cover with a damp cloth for about 25 minutes.
• Oil the pizza pan with a little olive oil.
• In the meantime prepare your toppings.
• When the 25 minutes have passed press the dough onto the pizza pan.
• Add the toppings and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes. The edges of the dough should have risen and be a medium golden brown shade.
• Bon Appetit!
