Paula's recipes usually call for a fair amount of concentration and effort - but are well worth the investment. This one will produce a great cheese cake, though the starting out cook would be well advised to follow these directions pretty carefully. This is one of those cases where messing with the recipe can lead to disastrous results unless you know what you are doing!
