I am in full swing of writing my new cheesecake book - 31 recipes done, 29 to go - I am over half way woo hoo! I am not sure however that I can eat much more cheesecake! Luckily my work colleagues and neighbours are doing an excellent job of being taste testers! At the weekend I made honeycomb cheesecake which was great fun as I got to make fresh honeycomb. Being impatient, I couldn't wait for it to cool down as I needed to put some in the cheesecake filling (coated in whipped egg white - a useful tip from Masterchef winner Mat Follas of the Wild Garlic) so I hung it over the kitchen door to cool. Strange I know but it honestly seemed like a good idea at the time. I imagine the passers by wondered what on earth I was doing! It did cool and very quickly and ended up being an amazing curl of honeycomb (see below). Obviously I won't be recommending this method in my book! Luckily with a few bashes of the rolling pin the curl was gone and I had lovely honeycomb ready to stir through the cheesecake. More cheesecake making this weekend - cheesecake Alaskas are on the menu!!!! Can't wait!
