I own at least three cheesecake cookbooks but this my favorite. The recipe instructions are clear and easy to follow even for those who are new to baking. Although not every recipe has a photo, the illustrations are stunning and you'll get a good idea of the finished products.
The book starts off with a great introduction that includes basic techniques and equipment, common ingredients and FAQ. Next are 200 recipes divided into twelve categories like Fresh Fruit, No-Bake and Savory Cheesecakes (you should never need another cheesecake recipe). Each recipe is accompanied by tips and variations as well as the author's valuable insights. Another plus for me is the baking technique does not require a waterbath which is tricky for a novice and can result in a soggy crust.
After searching everywhere online(including eBay) Amazon had the best price and you can even add a Fat Daddio cheesecake pan to your purchase to make sure you qualify for free shipping.

I got this book b/c dd absolutely loves cheesecake. Looks like this book has every kind of cheesecake in here you can imagine, including the basic New York Cheesecake. I decided to try something different to start with, and tried the Carrot Cake Cheesecake. I even went out and bought myself a set of springform pans. The recipe called for a 9" springform pan which I couldn't find, so I used the bigger size that's an almost 10" pan. Glad I did cuz the recipe filled the WHOLE pan! It's delicious & had a perfect blend of crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans in the carrot cake part. I don't even like pineapple & coconut (!), but I couldn't taste them in here and the texture is wonderful!! The recipe makes you think it's going to be different layers but I think I made a mess of it as I muddled through. Maybe it doesn't look fancy, but it is delish!! Looking forward to trying other recipes. A 10" cheesecake is quite large and will go a long way; something good for company.

One of the best books to have if you are a cheese cake lover.

well laid out

easy to follow

I absolutely love this cookbook and if you like cheesecake, this is for you. The recipes are great! There is huge variety from chocolate, fruit, holiday and other types of cheescakes. Most recipes are simple to follow along, the only downside is that most cakes in this book take a long time to make so be ready to dedicate a couple of hours to making one. It's well worth it though! I had my husband and several of our friends rave over a cheesecake I make from this book and out of the 50 recipes I've tried so far, there's only been one that's been so-so.

Bought this for my friend and she loves it! Said the first cheesecake recipe she tried came out amazing. Perhaps I'll buy one for myself!

Great cheesecake recipes. I make all the desserts for my restaurant and am always looking for great recipes. Well you can find them here and they are not hard to make. Thanks Amazon seller

Cheesecakes are my specialty and I've made several from this book. There are some great tips in the beginning of the book. There are so many recipes that I still want to try, but one of my favorites is the Creamy Amaretto Cheesecake in the first section. If you are a cheesecake lover I recommend this book.

Great cookbook with so many wonderful recipes! I found that cooking the cheesecakes at 350 was a bit high-they browned too quickly yet the inside was still very goopy. I prefer to cook my cheesecakes more slowly at 325. Use your judgement as any good cook does.

It's a good book, lots of recipes to try. However, I thought there would be more photos i.e a photo for every recipe in the book.
