Is there a recipe?

I just basically followed these ones to see if there was much variance:

Turns out it's one of the easiest and simplest things to make especially if you're incredibly lazy like me, on top of being probably the best cheesecake ever made
The key thing I found though is that it's relatively forgiving as far as ratios of ingredients are concerned; so long as you've got the following (or equivalent ingredient) amounts going from largest to smallest:
Cream cheese Heavy cream Eggs Sugar Flour Lemon zest (optional)
From a personal preference I also added in:
-condensed milk -some high quality vanilla extract

As I've often said, I'm not much of a cook, but apart from boiling pasta and adding pesto the rest of my limited repertoire is all thanks to Nigella. People think risotto is horribly intimidating but if I can do this delicious recipe justice, anyone can. A short, 5 minute clip, which shows beginning to end how to...
I'm also grateful to her original cookbook for its fantastic mozzarella filled French toast sealed sandwiches, and everyone I've ever made breakfast for has been indebted to Nigella Lawson.
In order to steer him away from the all pervasive Gordon Ramsay (whose relentless vulgarity and depiction of serious stress I don't appreciate, or find relaxing, or inspiring), I introduced my son to Nigella who he immediately warmed to, and I'm sure I've even heard her voice coming from his ipad when he's the bathroom of all places.

There's more goat action in Llandudno.
It's trending on Twitter.

You can't just buy a yellow coat, you have to earn one.

Could I request that some of the larger contributions are divided into two or three different posts? Lots of pictures in one go make my iPad crash repeatedly. I've been trying to scroll through page 2 to post something since 6.12pm and its now 6.36pm.

Then I have to wait for the freeze to become a crash, wait for it to reload again, request desktop version instead in order to post, and the same again, in a loop.

Seeing this lovely lady back home from hospital, playing her piano for Channel 4 News tonight, brought a happy tear to my eye.
