Honey cheesecake

This cheesecake is so completely delicious that although I’ve already got a vanilla cheesecake recipe on this very blog, I felt that I needed to include this one too – the ingredients are a bit different, so I think there’s a place for both.

Shown here with courgette fritters / mücver at a recent summer barbecue where they didn’t last long. The chicken recipe is by Sabrina Ghayour yet again, because her recipes are super!… Continue reading Turmeric chicken kebabs
