Book Reviews of 125 Best Cheesecake Recipes

Book Review: ick
Summary: 2 Stars

It looks like I'm the only person on earth who doesn't like this book.
I enjoy baking with liqueurs, so I tried the Creamy Amaretto Cheesecake. I liked the appearance, the height, the texture, the creamy consistency of the filling. But what I didn't especially like was the taste, and why else does one make a cheesecake? It was disgustingly sweet and overpowering. The recipe called for 4 cups of cheese total and 1.5 cups of sugar, which is a little on the sweet side. Astonishingly, it also called for 4 ounces (8 tablespoons) of amaretto. The result was something so obnoxiously cloying that no one wanted a second piece. I ended up having to throw the thing in the garbage. Assuming some consistency in amarettos, this means either some editor did a bad job of proofreading and got the measurements wrong, or the author has horrible taste. It's beyond me how someone can enjoy eating that. I understand the need to tweak a recipe now and then to accommodate personal taste; that's perfectly normal. But when a recipe is so repulsive as this, it's not worth my time and money to have to reinvent the wheel.
I know there are a lot of people who enjoy the recipes in this book; if it makes you happy, then use it. But there are some really elegant cheesecake recipes in The New James Beard and Joy of Cooking that outshine this, and I recommend those without reservation.
