Cheesecake Loaf with Raspberries

This colorful Basque-style cheesecake is made in a loaf pan without the fuss—indeed, it's so easy to make that all you need is a food processor, a loaf pan, and an oven, and the preparation takes hardly any time at all. Everything gets whizzed up, poured into the pan, and then baked until browned on top. Basque cheesecakes are crustless with a creamy, custard-like interior and a caramelized surface, but this loaf version is made with fewer eggs than traditional recipes, and it yields a perfect size cheesecake for a dinner.

Punjabi Kadhi Pakora

I think that everyone who's tried Indian food love pakoras, those little golden-brown fried vegetable fritters that can be found in any Indian restaurant and are usually served with a chutney. Pakoras are usually considered to be street food but here they're elevated to elegant cuisine by serving them in a thick and tangy spiced golden cream sauce called "kadhi."
