You have to bake a cheese cake. Trust me. It's far better than just a chilled version.

I like to blind bake the crumb base first for about 5 minutes. When it cools the base is firmer.

This recipe has never failed me:

* 8 digestive biscuits
* 50g butter , melted
* 600g cream cheese
* 2 tbsp plain flour
* 175g caster sugar
* vanilla extract
* 2 eggs , plus 1 yolk
* 140ml pot soured cream

1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Crush the biscuits in a food processor (or put in a plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin). Mix with the butter. Press into a 20cm springform tin and bake for 5 minutes, then cool.

2. Beat the cream cheese with the flour, sugar, a few drops of vanilla, eggs, the yolk and soured cream until light and fluffy. Pour into the tin. Bake for 40 minutes and then check, it should be set but slightly wobbly in the centre. Leave in the tin to cool.

A handy hint is to also keep the oven moist with a tray of boiling water at the bottom of the oven as this stops the cake cracking as it bakes.

Happy baked cheesecake all.

I do a nice one with Lemon and sultanas in it, very nice, got from an Ainsley Harriott cookbook. Just saying.
 
Dear Mrs Moyes:

I derived some genuine nostalgic amusementfrom your missive. Please feel free to submit another in a year or so.

Until then, may life be gentle to you, strange creature that you are.

Sincerely,

One who remembers

I used to be a chef and I always wondered what Ainsley would be like in a kitchen away from the TV cameras.

I had a mate who worked for him and he's as verbal as Ramsey apparently and doesn't like his catchphrases being used in his kitchen.
 
I just spent ages typing up a brilliant recipe and lost it because I forgot to bypass the proxy first :(

Maybe next time. Was going to reveal my signature dish with all the little hints and tips
 
You're kidding me? You used a don't feed the troll picture to bump an almost 2 week old thread? Where the hell is the sense in that?
