Home cook Trish Heagerty came up with this tasty cheesecake combination for her new recipe book, Out Of The Pantry.
There are no fancy ingredients - only staples from the pantry and fridge, all of them affordable, quick and tasty. Recipes range from pumpkin and coconut soup through to spicy curries and one-pot family meals.
Out of the Pantry (New Holland, $35) is out this month!
Putting on my wishlist for sure!
