Yorkshire Curd Tart or Cheese cake [minus the kefir grains Ad. Dominic] was possibly the forerunner
of the American Cheesecake. I include the recipe and picture. Please feel free to publish them if you wish. I must warn you,
if you do make a Curd Tart they become very addictive.
Kind Regards,
Alan Vevers"

2Tbs fresh milk kefir-grains
4oz or 110gm Sugar
