 Rating:  - Wonderful cheesecake book.......Having several cheesecake books, and having purchased this book several years ago, I have been blissfully baking cheesecakes that many friends and family have enjoyed. For that important reason, and for the many wonderful reviews that this book has garnished, I would like to give a bit more detail to help someone both appreciate and perhaps, want to purchase this particularly wonderful book. Starting with the many incredibly beautiful and luscious photographs, you will be in a difficult spot to try and figure out which of the over 100 recipes you would like to try. There seems to be a cake for every season and occasion, and all with just the right amount of effort to make them as spectacular as the finished photo itself. The Foreward is an interesting page itself in that the Cardiopulmonary Dietician who wrote it has a philosphy that I agree with in that, in moderation, one can enjoy just about any food, especially if it prepared properly. It is a great read for those who might feel that "cheesecake" is a forbidden word. And when you get to the "Guilt Free Cheesecake" section, you will be pleasantly surprised on the good flavor and texture on the lighter cheesecakes. As an aside, I found some recipes to be a bit heavy with the sugar content, so I scaled back about a 1/4 cup or so, and that seemed to be just right for myself, though is there such a thing as too much sweetness with cheesecake? And as far as the "Beverage Cheesecakes", the Margarita Cheesecake, Irish Cream Cheesecake, and Amaretto Cheesecakes were just perfect cheesecake cousins of those particular liqueurs. Ms. Crownover goes into her first chapter of how to be successful every time by having the knowledge of "ingredients, equipment, and other helpful hints" to make your cheesecake baking experience the best. One of the parts that I appreciated was the modification of recipes depending on the size of your pan; extremely useful when having to increase/decrease amounts needed for different size pans. Next comes the cakes and the different categories to give you a quick index of flavors: BEVERAGE BASED CHEESECAKES: Grasshopper Cheesecake Amaretto Cheesecake Amaretto Chocolate Cheesecake Coffee and Cream Cheesecake Eggnog Cheesecake Fuzzy Navel Cheesecake Daiquiri Cheesecake Grand Passion Cheesecake Marbles Grasshopper Cheesecake Hawaiian Tropics Cheesecake Jamaican Banana Cheesecake Chocolate Irish Cream Cheesecake Irish Cream Cheesecake Mocha Cheesecake Mai Tai Cheesecake Margarita Cheesecake Neopolitan Cheesecake Nutty Colada Cheesecake Orange Pineapple Cheesecake Pina Colada Cheesecake Pink Lemonade Cheesecake Rum Raisin Cheesecake Strawberry Daiquiri Cheesecake Vandermint Cheesecake CANDY AND COOKIES CHEESECAKES: Chocolate Candy Cheesecake (an M&M's kind of cake) Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Butterscotch Cheesecake Butter Rum Cheesecake Turtle Cheesecake Praline Cheesecake CARAMEL CHEESECAKES: Caramel Chocolate Chunk Cheesecake Caramel Apple Cheesecake Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Molasses Cheesecake Caramel Mocha Cheesecake Chocolate Caramel Pecan Cheesecake CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKES (the most requested ones): Chocolate Cheesecake Black Bottom Cheesecake Black Forest Cheesecake Chocolate Banana Cheesecake Mocha Almond Swirl Cheesecake Chocolate Mint Swirl Cheesecake Chocolate Orange and Almond Swirl Cheesecake Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Chocolate Toffee Cheesecake Chocolate Fantasy Cheesecake German Chocolate Cheesecake Milk Chocolate Cheesecake COCONUT CHEESECAKE: Chocolate Coconut Almond Cheesecake Coconut Pineapple Almond Cheesecake Coconut Chocolate Rum Cheesecake Coconut Almond Cheesecake CUSTARD AND SPICE CHEESECAKE: Pumpkin Cheesecake Carrot Cheesecake FRUIT CHEESECAKE: Mandarin Orange Cheesecake Apple Pie Cheesecake Apricot Cheesecake Apricot Mousse Cheesecake Banana Cream Cheesecake Bananas Foster Cheesecake Cherry Cheesecake Imperial Bing Cherry Cheesecake Ambrosia Cheesecake Blueberry Cheesecake Blackberry Cheesecake Cherry Almond Cheesecake Chocolate Cherry Almond Cheesecake Banana Split Cheesecake Creamy Lemon Cheesecake Creamy Orange Swirl Cheesecake Key Lime Cheesecake Lemon Drop Cheesecake Limon Cheesecake New England Apple Cheesecake Peaches and Cream Cheesecake Pear Elegance Cheesecake Peach Pecan Cheesecake French Pineapple Cheesecake Strawberry Chocolate Cheesecake Raspberry Almond Cheesecake Strawberry Cheesecake Tangerine Cheesecake Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake Cranberry Orange Cheesecake MINT CHEESECAKE: Peppermint Chip Cheesecake Mint Almond Swirl Cheesecake Chocolate Mint Cheesecake NUT CHEESECAKE: Almond Toffee Cheesecake California Amaretto Cheesecake Baklava Cheesecake Mapel Pecan Cheesecake PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE: PB and Chocolate Cheesecake PB and Banana Cheesecake PB and Jelly Cheesecake VANILLA CHEESECAKE: Super New York Style Cheesecake Dutch Vanilla Cheesecake Individual Cheesecakes Honey Vanilla Cheesecake GUILT-FREE CHEESECAKE (light cheesecakes substituting some cream cheese with tofu, egg whites rather than all eggs): Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake Low-Calorie Amaretto Cheesecake Light Lime Cheesecake Coffee Cream Cheesecake Slim Chocolate Mint Cheesecake Caramel Praline Cheesecake Skinny Banana Split Cheesecake Fresh Tangerine Cheesecake Tropical Blend Cheesecake Light Lemon Cheesecake Tangy Orange Cheesecake Slice of Lemon Cheesecake (very refreshing) Calorie Trimmed Coffee Cheesecake Very Vanilla Cheesecake Ligth Daiquiri Cheesecake Peachy Diet Cheesecake Banana Dream Cheesecake Carefree Cocoa Cheesecake Slender Cherry Cheesecake Caramel Coffee Cheesecake Blueberry Patch Cheesecake This is a great book as well as reference tool for making the most delectable of cheesecakes; it is definitely one that you will refer to and that you can rely on for making a hit with this favorite dessert! Rating:  - Excellent bookThis book offers a wide variety of cheesecakes. I have done about 10 and they are all good. Excellent... a must buy for even beginners! Rating: - Used these for my wedding!This is the best book! For my wedding I decided to make my own cheesecakes, I picked 5 different ones, and made a total of 30 cheesecakes! They were such a hit. All of them turned out perfectly (except when I made stupid mistakes, like forgetting to turn off the oven, etc.) and I am now known by friends, family, and out church as "The Cheesecake Lady". In fact my church is having a fundraiser play and they have asked me to make a chesecake to auction off at each performance. When I asked what else they will be auctioning, I was told nothing. That my cheesecakes are so "famous" that's all they are going to have to auction off, and that people are already excited about them. I say all this not to brag, because believe me I don't deserve the praise, it is this cookbook that does. Follow the tips at the beginning, and you'll make beautiful and yummy chesecakes everytime. Rating:  - Suspicious about review processI did not wish to rate this book with a star but had to enter something... Can someone tell me why the reviews for this book are identical to the reviews for a different cheesecake cook book "I Love Cheesecake"? I was just reading the reviews for the other book and then planned to compare to the reviews for this book and they're exactly the same reviews??? makes me wonder why I should even bother with reading any of the reviews on this site...and if I should buy any of the books since I cannot tell which one is a good book.
