help: Orange and lemon cheesecake by Nigel Slater, from The Kitchen Diaries

[cazzybabs]

Decided to do this recipie from the BBC website - having bought all the stuff and not read the recipe carefully.. it says to turn on the oven but not what to put in the oven(ie base or base and top) and for how long

give me a link and I'll have a look

\link{http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/orangeandlemoncheese_80521.shtml\here)

thanks

Its the base and the top - you chill the base, make the topping, put cake in a roasting tin half full of boiling water - put whole lot in oven and TURN the oven OFF. Let cake get cold and then remove from oven..

oh god why doesn't my link work?

So why do you nee the oven on the 1st place?

But meant to stay thanks...shall try it and report back!

Assume you need to warm the oven up - so when you put roasting tin with water in its going to do a very slow 'cook' to set the topping ??

Yes, that's what it looks like from recipe. You're putting it in a cooling oven at the end by the look of it.

DH scorns my use of mumsnet - you are not that bloody thing again...but where else could you turn to in moments of crisis when you have 8 friends round for dinner and no pudding!

Sorry for the belated report - twas a bit runny but tasted bloody good! And no-one for food poisioning!

Unsure what went wrong - Nigel you have let me down!
