 Not so great . . .Jun 03, 2010
Ms. Crownover's approach to baking cheesecake steps outside the traditional baking techniques for cheesecake. The recipe temps are just too low. I have been baking cheesecake for 20 years. I thought perhaps she was on to something that would produce a better, smoother cheesecake - just not the case. The book is great for giving you ideas for cakes to create. But as far as baking technique - stick to not over beating your eggs, generally bake at 325F, and use a water bath. If the recipe says drop the temp to 200F - run!
 Wonderful Book!!Dec 15, 2009
I got this book over 10 years ago and have tried many of the recipes. Every one has turned out fabulous. If you can follow simple directions, you can make a delicious cheesecake!! I just found out that she has a newer book called I Love Cheesecake and I really want to get that one too! She gives lots of good information on why you do certain things.

Gave one to my son years ago and he enjoyed it so much, wanted one for myself. Unable to purchase in a store so was very happy to be able to find on Amazon. It's a great cheesecake cookbook. Sorry I didn't have it years ago when I was doing more entertaining.
Glad to find this againJan 06, 2009
I had this book in hardcover form, it help me a ton of times when I was asked to bring desserts to holiday parties, I had almost made all of them except the ones in the liquor/ beverage section
Then I loaned it to a friend and.....you guessed it I never got it back.
I am happy to see it here and very happy to have it again in my hands (no I don't plan on loaning it out again!!)
 Good Cheesecake book.Dec 30, 2008
The only issue is that I would like to see all the recipe pictures to have a better idea about the recipe. Thanks.
