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.

One of the best, most comprehensive Cheesecake Recipe Books.
I've made about 1/2 of the cheesecakes from this book and each and every one of them was superb. Recipes are clear and easy to follow. Make sure you check out the tips at the beginning. If you follow his advice...you can't fail! Happy Baking!

A great book with recipes that work!
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.
