Basuku owner Charles Chen works on a batch of 100 cheesecakes
This is a PSA for all cheesecake lovers: Basuku Cheesecakes has returned to the Bay Area.
The popular Japanese-style Basque cheesecake pop-up halted Bay Area operations from March to December of last year while owner Charles Chen embarked on a "lifelong dream project," helping his friend open a restaurant in Kyoto, Japan.
Now, the Oakland resident is baking out of Vina Enoteca's kitchen in Palo Alto.
Since 2020, Basuku Cheesecakes owner Charles Chen has single-handedly baked nearly 10,000 cheesecakes, experimenting with limited-edition flavors like cookies and cream, chestnut mont blanc, salted caramel and orange creamsicle.
He's hoping to eventually open up a shop in Taiwan and possibly Japan, a decision influenced by his recent visit.
"It was a great experience to not only be a part of the opening and be a part of doing something in Japan, but just the combination of all those things, embracing a bit more of my heritage, as well as just enjoying the quality of life in Japan was really a memorable experience," he said.
Chen also just announced a new menu item - mini Basque cheesecakes 40% of the size of his original recipe. He hopes a licensing deal with a Bay Area operator, likely Vina Enoteca, will allow him to not only continue selling cheesecakes when he’s out of town, but also amp up production to meet local demand.

    One of my pet peeves is that he does not say whether this is cow or goat milk. It is likely cow milk, but goat milk is becoming more available and goat milk is naturally homogonized. If you are getting goat milk straight from the farm it is pretty creamy already. You could even use natural, raw goat milk as this chef's process pasteurizes the milk. He also uses a blender, I think a really good one, but many home chefs probably have blender which are a little rough on things. Nice video that confirms a number of things I thought were true. It is definitely worth watching.

    What Mr. Harris is missing is talking to other generations about Palo Alto. It is a completely different city than it was in the 50s. I haven’t read his book, but I wonder how much we spent on any kind of positive information about Palo Alto. In his whole discussion here, I didn’t hear one word about Hewlett-Packard. If there was one company that did more for this area it was that. Also, he didn’t mention anything about the women at Stanford, especially Mrs. Stanford and also about Mrs.Hoover. Capitalism is another name for opportunistic human nature. It’s in all of us.

    A lot of the nutrition is destroyed through pasteurization. Raw milk and eggs are remineralizing. I would always seek out a good source for these ingredients first.

    Wow, 15 yolks? That's more than I've ever seen in any ice cream recipe for such a small batch. I only use 3-4 for a 2 quart batch. I make my wife various fresh fruit ice creams using monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar because she has type 1 diabetes, and the high fat content of the cream offsets any sugars in the fruit and doesn't raise her blood glucose. If you've never tried monk fruit you should try it. It's natural and doesn't have the nasty aftertaste of artificial sweeteners.

    I know this video is several years old compared to my comment. Perhaps this information is already known by many. I wanted to share, nevertheless. The other day, I came across this article: "A Potential Blood Test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)?" dated Sept. 9, 2023. Quoting from it, "Using a new technique called Raman spectroscopy, in combination with machine learning, this British-Polish and US research group were able to distinguish ME/CFS from healthy controls and multiple sclerosis with an unusually high degree of accuracy." "The findings also suggested - once again - that ME/CFS patients’ cells are turning to “dirty fuel” - amino acids - for energy instead of using the cleaner burning glucose and fatty acids." "In the end, in its broad scope, the study validated problems with energy metabolism, demonstrated amino acid abnormalities, and highlighted tryptophan issues." The authors stated: “Our Raman spectroscopic approach has great potential as a diagnostic technique for diseases like ME/CFS”. Having a simple, effective diagnostic test would be a huge step in the right direction. Below is the link. www.healthrising.org/blog/2023/09/09/blood-test-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/
