So sorry, Ophelia. Although I didn't e-mail you directly, this is verbatim
what I posted:

We've just finished eating a piece of Ophilia's recipe for Yorkshire Curd
Cheesecake and proclaimed it *marvelous*! Both the flavor and texture were
wonderful. Once you've made the curds, which I did yesterday, it's a quick
and simple recipe that produces a cheesecake unlike any I've had, and one I
will repeat many times.

There are two things I did that might be considered variations. First, the
currants I had on hand had previously been soaked in brandy. Second, I
sprinkled the pinch of nutmeg over the top before baking, rather than
adding to the filling.

A million thanks, Ophelia!
