My wife is part of a small group of culinary afficionados here in Santiago and they each are presenting a dish tomorrow for a meeting. I have suggested she try to do an auyama cheesecake inspired by pumpkin cheesecake I've had in the past.. what do you guys think about the substitution? I think the idea of using a local ingredient in an international dish should be interesting.
