People can get really complicated with cheesecake (or curdcake), but this is as I think it should be. Simple and more-ish. Beautiful.

I modified this recipe for cooking in an Aga and it still turned out fine. Needs a bit of fine tuning but then this isnt designed for an Aga!

I have never used an Aga so am very pleased you could adapt it.

This is THE cheesecake. forget all others. I added some very finely grated lemon zest to add even more lemony flavour. Yum!
