There is a lovely restaurant in New Hope, PA called Marsha Brown. It’s on the main strip, and located in an old church. Whenever I visit new hope, I make it a point to drop in and grab the Crab Cheesecake appetizer with a glass of wine. It is absolutely incredible! I’ve been scouring the internet trying to find a recipe for it, but haven’t found many. This recipe looks simple – and though I haven’t tried it yet, I have a feeling it’s going to be a pretty close match. Emiril has a recipe as well, but it’s a lot more complicated…. This recipe was originally found here. When they server it, it’s served with a side of green onion coulis, and a remoulade sauce. To see Emril’s recipe, click here.
