The _ carrot-cake-with-cr- eam-cheese-icing set me thinking about desserts, and I found I just had to give you the best cheesecake in the

world. A woman beside me —

in a typing-class years. ago

offered it gratuitously, and if. you've ever tried to pry the’

secret of her salad dressing

out of your hostess: you'll understand how much this |

unsolicited gift was ap- " preciated..

So thank you, Grace Clarke, wherever you are. It is all you said it would be — totally reliable, generous in size, and not too sweet.

One of its most endearing features is that it must be prepared the day before serving. It takes all the sweat out of a “company” dinner to know the dessert is ready.

Turn the oven to 350F

(180C),

You will need a_ large quiche dish, or a tube pan, or best of all a sprint-form

While it is baking, sprinkle 1 TUspn. (15mL) of sugar on to the top of a large carton (750mL) of sour cream, and stir it in with a fork. Take the pan out at the end of the 20

turn the oven te. 450F (230€). Also immediately, spread the sour cream mixture on to of the hot cake. Return to the hot oven and bake for five minutes only.

Bring it out now and set it somewhere to cool, com- pletely. It must be cold when you cover it with a small carton of whipping cream whipped to the stiff stage.

Remember the buttered crumbs you set aside?

Season them with a dash of.

nutmeg and sprinkle them over the whipped cream. Put the whole thing into the refrigerator for 24 hours. Learn. to accept com- pliments gracefully.

Oh yes, you can pass sugared strawberries, fresh or thawed, or melted raspberry jelly, for a simple but dramatic topping.
