For the base, blend the digestive biscuits in a food processor until ground to fine crumbs.
3
Pour crumbs into a bowl and add the melted butter. Mix together until all the crumbs are coated.
4
Spoon mixture into prepared tin and press down firmly until evenly spread. Chill in the fridge to set, about 20 minutes.
5
For the filling, arrange a ring of about 10 sliced Keelings strawberries around the edge of the baking tin.
6
Combine 250g Keelings strawberries, icing sugar and vanilla in a food processor, blend to a smooth puree. Add the cream cheese and blend until smooth, then add the double cream and blend until mixture thickens – the batter should be thick enough that it can’t be poured out (about 2-3 minutes).
7
Spoon batter over prepared base and smooth the top with a spatula. Leave to chill and set in the fridge overnight.
8
To un-mould, run a sharp knife around the sides of the cheesecake then unclip and remove the outer ring of the cake tin. Gently work a spatula underneath the base and then slide the cheesecake onto a serving plate.

Decorate with slices of fresh Keelings strawberries.

METHOD Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium high heat. Cook the cod in the pan for 2 minutes each side and for the final minute, add 1 tbsp of the teriyaki sauce and turn the fish in the sauce to coat. Remove the fish from the pan to serving plates and keep warm. Stir fry the carrot, scallions and garlic in the pan for 1 minute before adding in the remaining teriyaki sauce and toss to coat. Serve the veg with the fish and garnish with some fresh scallions and sesame seeds
