Céline is my best friend. Her family has been in Paris for many generations, she’s Parisien as Parisien comes. Like any respectable Parisien her ideal vacation is in New-York where she has often been sighted sampling cheesecake. When she’s not off galavanting the big apple she’s a journalist and she has hr own cheesecake blog in Paris. You can check it out here.
Many thanks Céline for participating in this cheesecake bake-off! Like always, your recipe is amazing!

Zest one lemon and drop in whole fresh raspberries. The day of the bake-off raspberries were not in season so we added whole frozen raspberries.
