Book Reviews of 125 Best Cheesecake Recipes
Book Review: Perfect cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book in 2004 when I first decided I wanted to learn everything I could about making cheesecakes that were simple, or sophisticated or complex in flavor. This book is all of those things. I love that George Geary took the time to explain to us what is necessary to make a top notch cheesecake. When following his advice, tips and steps it is possible to make decent cheesecakes. I made the chocolate espresso swirl.....then the book sat for awhile, I revisited it again and again but didn't make a cheesecake. I recently started baking for a local restaurant. The cheesecakes in this book have been a huge hit. I have made the pumpkin, the New York, the chocolate espresso swirl and the orange cranberry. Each one has been well received with a thumb's up for flavor, presentation and taste. Thanks George!!!Book Review: Good Help for the Hostess

I just bought the book last week and have already tried two recipes for weekend houseguests. I'm not an experienced baker. It is easy to make cheesecake as promised. Blue Cheese Pistachio Cheesecake is a no-bake and no-crust savory recipe that is perfect for entertaining:
* delicious with wine or martinis;
* can be made a week or so ahead of time;
* freezes well.
Austrian Cheesecake is a dessert made with cottage cheese and is rich, but not super sweet. The whipped cream frosting made it look very professional and was surprisingly easy to do. The recipe calls for raisins which I skipped, but I think it would be good with any fruit, fresh or dried.
I will try Swiss Alps Cheesecake next, another savory recipe, to take to a meeting where it is my turn to bring the snacks.

Summary: 5 Stars
I love food so much - especially cheesecakes. That's why I review exercise dvds so much; because if I eat cakes like this, I have to exercise. This book is mouth watering and addictive. I have tried so many of the cakes and while not always are there good results, it's not the books fault. The collection is amazing. You'll feel like you are at the Cheesecake Factory's dessert section. No matter what your flavour of choice is, you will find it in here. Of course you cannot go wrong with the regular baked, but experimenting with the recipes is most of the fun (appart from eating them). If you love pottering around in the kitchen and beautiful desserts, then I totally recommend this book. It's great and easy to follow and the results are the best.
Book Review: Cheesecake Review
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good book for any cheesecake enthusiast. I'm not a very big fan of savory cheesecakes and could've done without that section but this still is a ver good book for both the novice and the experienced baker. The tips at the front of the text are also very helpful. The only downfall of the book in my opinion is that there are several photos of cheesecakes in the book of which none of them have a title as to what type of cheesecake it is. This is somewhat frustrating because if you see a picture of a cheesecake that you would like to make, it turns into a guessing game trying to find the recipice with ingredients that seem like they match what the picture looks like. Still a good book though.Book Review: Wow, wow, wow! What a fantastic baking book...

Who would have thought that I would go from making cakes from box mixes to being able to make the amazing cheesecakes in this book? In the 5 months I have had this book I have made about 9 of the recipes- each one of them easily understandable, clearly explained, and wonderfuly detailed. I always thought that cheesecakes were one of the most difficult things in the world to make, but with this book I have been able to wow my coworkers and my family. The beginning chapter is particularly helpful- it gives the novice cheesecake baker tons of useful tips and tricks for creating the recipes in the book. It is one of my favorite baking books ever- and worth every penny.
