Cheesecake

Delicious on its own with a cup of coffee, this cheesecake also makes a first-rate dessert if topped with soft summer fruit such as raspberries or blueberries. Like quiches, the image of cheesecakes suffers from the abuse exerted on them over many years by large-scale manufacturers. A well-made, authentic version can be a revelation. You will understand their original appeal once you have stripped away the choc-ripple type of additives usually inflicted on them.
