Baking quite possibly the best cheesecakes in the universe, Junior's Restaurant is a legend in its own right. Located in downtown Brooklyn, Times Square and Grand Central Station in New York, this home away from home has been wooing New Yorkers since it first opened its doors on Election Day, 1950. And now, finally, they are willing to offer up the recipes that have had Brooklynites double-parking on Flatbush Avenue for generations. Included are 50 recipes for Junior's New York-style cheesecakes (all cream cheese, no sour cream, thank you, on a sponge cake crust), from the cheesecake that started it all (Junior's Original New York Cheesecake), to flavor twists like Banana Fudge, Rocky Road, and Pumpkin Mousse, to little cheesecakes meant just for one (called Little Fellas), to Junior's newest creation, Skyscraper Cheesecakes (think alternating layers of cheesecake and layer cake) in flavors like Boston Cream Pie, Lemon Coconut, and Carrot Cake. It's a cheesecake lover's delight!

Summary: The definitive resource
Comment: Alton Brown taught me the basics of baking cheesecake and this book took me to the top. I am famous at my workplace and my cheesecakes are now requested for everyone's birthday "cake." The directions are thorough and detailed, and I haven't had a failed effort yet. The 3 layer Carrot Cake Cheesecake is to die for.....perhaps literally, but it's a spectacular dessert. If you want to make the ultimate cheesecake, this is the book for you.

Summary: Cheesecake Cookbook
Comment: This is an attractive little book that had rave reviews so I was eager to buy it. I'm an experienced cheesecake baker but when I made the cupcake sized cheesecakes from this book they were not a success - tops cracked and appearance was bad, taste only average. I will try again but so far, am not impressed. My other criticism is that not every recipe has a photo - I do prefer seeing a finished example.

Summary: Worst Cookbook I've Ever Bought
Comment: I was very excited when I bought this cookbook because I love cheesecake. I've made five cheesecakes, following the instructions exactly and they were all terrible. Four of them we threw away,and one we managed to finish but it really wasn't that good. The Peanut Butter one was the worst.
I have other cookbooks, like the Joy of Cheesecake and Bon Apetite and every cheesecake has always turned out perfect. I have at least 70 cookbooks and I'm always in the kitchen cooking something. I don't consider myself the greatest cook in the world, but I can follow a recipe and I really enjoy what I make. But the recipe's from this book are the exception.
My opinon is that they modified the recipes from what is used in the restaurant and never tried to make them. My sister wanted to buy the book, I'm just going to give her mine. It's either that or it will go in the garbage or to a thrift store.
I wouldn't recommend this book.
