125 Best Cheesecake Recipes Reviews

• Amazing book!

  I have to put a warning on this book. Once you read the tips section and try a few of his recipes you will see how easy and actually quick with regards to prep time that it really is to make a great cheesecake and then you start making way too many of them! 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.
  
  Edit added: I've now made about 10 cakes from this book and they have still all turned out perfect. I made the peanut butter cheesecake and brought it to work, my coworkers asked me where I had bought it from since they wanted to purchase one. I also made the minty chocolate cheesecake as the dessert for Christmas Eve. My family raved about it and also had to double-check that it was homemade since it turned out so fabulous they couldn't tell if it was store bought or not.

  I took George's class at the Morgantown Food Fest. In his class he taught technique after technique for successful cheescake baking. And he writes about all these techniques in this book. I'm enjoying his book, and the savory cheesecakes have been a big hit in our family! I highly recommend this book.

  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.

  This is a collection of cheesecake recipes to treasure. George Geary's recipes are so tempting and imaginative that you'll want to roll up your sleeves and start baking each and every one of them.
  
  
• "A" for variety

  The recipes in here are unbelieveable! I think this book gives the Cheesecake Factory a run for its money. It's a great collection of recipes.
  
  
• Cheesecake Review
  By A1KITSKCOS6AAX on 2006-02-21
  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.

  This book is awesome! I recomend it to anyone looking for a cheesecake cookbook. I am a novice cheesecake "baker" and found his tips in the beginning VERY helpful! This book should be a staple in everyone's kitchen!!! Love it!
  
  
• This book is a MUST HAVE!!
  By A23FRWNRP6RLGE on 2007-07-16
  A Friend told me about this book, and how every recipe was a winner. I am glad I listened! Every recipe I have made is delicious and easy to make. I will be giving these cakes out for Christmas gifts this year. I highly reccomend investing in the cheesecake pans he suggest. They produce a much better cheesecake than a springform pan! I ordered the pans from Amazon when I ordered this book, just search cheesecake pans.
  
  
• This book title is TRUE!!!

  I planned to take a cheesecake class taught by George Geary at a local cooking school. When I was forced to work on the day of the class, I ordered the book from Amazon and decided this would be my substitute for taking the class.
  
  Although I have only tried one of the recipes (Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake), I believe that as I work through the rest of the recipes, they will all be as amazing as this one. I took this one to my family Thanksgiving dinner and everyone just LOVED it!
  
  Be sure to read pages 8 through 20 (especially "Basic Techniques for a Perfect Cheesecake"). I have been making cheesecakes for about 25 years and this book supplied me with quite a bit of helpful information regarding the basics.
  
  The book has plenty of pictures as well as 13 recipes for sauces/toppings to serve over your finished cheesecake.
  
  I can't wait to try more-next on my list are the Turtle Cheesecake and the French Apple Cheesecake.

• My New Favorite Cookbook!!
  By on 2002-09-28
  Our family has always loved cheesecake and this new cookbook is so wonderful and so diverse. It reads beautifully and it includes so many new conbinations along with the old ones.
  I had such success the other night when I served one of your "guilt-free" cheesecakes to our calorie conscious friends. I made the Light Citrus recipe and topped it with fresh rasberries. I followed the recipe and it worked out perfectly. As a matter of fact I used the "variation tip" and substituted the lemon cookies instead of the butter ones. My only addition was was to cover the top with fresh rasberries. We all thought it was the best ever!

• perfect cheesecake book!!!
  By A197WXYE9FJ8KO on 2006-11-01
  My husband and I own our own business, and a lot of times we'll have meetings at our house. I am now known as the cheesecake wonder. I have made a number of cheesecakes from this book, and they have all turned out great!!! everyone ALWAYS loves them. I end up making two, one for the meeting, and one for my husband!! He gives great tips, and he usually has a topping for the cheesecake, especially good if you get cracks. I am in love with this book!
  
  
• Amazing Book!!
  By A1BA8XX3SAYQT9 on 2007-08-05
  We have made at least 15 different recipes from this book and they have all turned out incredibly well. People are always excited if I'm bringing a cheeseceake and we've developed a reputation for being fantastic cheesecake makers. Yet, I cannot take the credit. This book provided me with all the recipes. Our favourites are the pina colada, key lime and peppermint chocolate. Yet I can think of at least 3 more I loved. This book is fantastic and completely worth it.

  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.
  
  
  
• Love It!
  By AAN0JG6BPIWLQ on 2006-12-04
  I have tried many recipes from this book, including a no bake choclate mocha chunk that is wonderful. There are lots of different ideas on crusts and many different types. It is a must have if you like cheesecake.
  
  
  
  
• Sinfully delicious cheesecakes
  By APLGWQFPHOOG6 on 2008-01-10
  I have tried several recipes from this book, followed the instructions exactly, and they have all come out perfect. I'm officially the cheesecake queen at work now. Anyone wanting to make superb cheesecakes with the most wonderful assortment of toppings will truly enjoy this book
  
  
• doesn't have pictures
  By A3AFD01KRS37GG on 2008-03-11
  The book is very good and the tips very helpful and easy to follow. It takes you 5 minutes to read them and they are nothing too complicated.
  The only bad thing that i see is that the book only has a few pictures, like 6 or so, and i think pictures are very helpful when it comes to choose what cheesecake you wanna make, and here you have 125 to choose!
