Brief History of Cheesecake

Where Did This Delectable Dessert Come From?

Cheesecake is a food rich in history, culture, tradition and ceremony. It is not the invention of a single person but a result of culinary evolution. The origins of cheesecake are grounded in ancient agricultural practice, tempered by local resources, and tweaked by technological advancement. In short, cheesecake is a perfectly good example of the dedicated human quest for good tasting food. Cheeseless cheesecakes (sweet, rich custard pies) began to appear in English cookbooks in the 17th century. Chess pie, a popular Southern American favorite, is descended from these.

More extensive information on the origins of cheesecake can be found here.

Reviewer's comment: "This little book may seem at first very plain... no colorful pictures inside, no glossy pages. But it does what you want a cheesecake cookbook to do: it gives you 50 mouth-watering recipes, plus 17 extra recipes from "special places" such as The Plaza Hotel and The Regent Beverly Wilshire (all of which are simple enough for the average baker to handle). The lack of pictures is a plus for me. I don't find myself stressing over whether or not my finished product looks as perfect as the one in the photo, as I do with other cheesecake cookbooks with pictures.

The book has yet another bonus: instructions on how to avoid cracks forming in the cheesecake as it bakes, how to give a cheesecake away without giving away the bottom of your springform pan, and how to slice the cheesecake as perfectly as restaurants do. Overall, a great buy.

"I've tried for years to make a good cheesecake and they just never turned out quite right, the crust was burned, or the filling was grainy, or something else was just not right. I have made 4 cakes from this book and each one has been fabulous, bakery quality each time. I'm especially pleased with the section on guilt-free cheesecakes. They're not exactly guilt-free, slightly-less-sinful would be a better description, but you would never know it to taste them.

If you have always wanted to be able to bake an amazing and beautiful cheesecake as the centerpiece dessert of a holiday or party this is the book for you." By Kay (MN USA)

    I love the cheesecake pops idea. Very cool lens, it makes me want to get up and make one... or maybe go buy one :) That Irish cream white chocolate one sounds awesome!

    Nothing beats a good strawberry cheesecake with a nice good crumbling crust and a generous serving of strawberry simple syrup on top.

    Mint Choc is my personal fav... I like cheesecake but the consistence is slightly whack.

    I don't know how wild it is, but one of my favorite is a Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake with Candied Pansies. Yum! Love this lens! I'll have to come back and check out more of the links. I have lensrolled it to my cheesecake lens.
