200-year-old Cheesecake

Step back in time as we recreate a beautiful cheesecake, with a 200-year-old cookbook and (almost) no modern kitchen gadgets. I tried to keep this as faithful to the original recipe and methodology as possible, picking fresh berries, making my own cheese and even tracking down a cow! Hope you love it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3nc7YoWNP4

Just watched the video – amazing! I bet your arm ached after all that whisking and grinding in the pestle and mortar. (my arm ached just watching you). It just shows you what a big difference electricity and mod cons make to our lives. Well done you.

Thanks everyone, yes it was quite a fascinating exercise trying to make this as close to the original method as possible (and tiring too).
