Italian Cheese Cake

While waiting for the important visit (in this blog of course!) of Mr Lawrence Keogh, Head Chef at the Roast in London...



I make my Cheese Cake to offer him...



I use some organic Ricotta, very fresh, made yesterday by the shepherd, fresh eggs from our hens... To give the cake a distinct refreshing flavor of lemon, I add tbsps of fresh lemon juice and grated lemon zest... Completing with a small amount of sour cream as in the New York Style...
I bake the cake slowly in the oven at low temperature...

...and here it is...
for You Mr Lawrence...

...a lovely Ricotta Cheese Cake on a Digestive Base aromatized with ground ginger, served with nectarine peach (grown in our garden!) sauce and with wild blackberries and lavander to garnish...
I hope you appreciate my gift... YOU'RE VERY WELCOME TO MY KITCHEN!!!
