Cheesecake can elicit strong debate, and lovers of this iconic dessert each claim to have THE tried-and- true version. Without reinventing the wheel, my recipe stems from childhood memories and harks back nostal- gically to the cake my mother often made, always to absolute perfection. It’s simple, delicious and does not involve the cumber- some use of a water bath for baking. With basic grocery-store in- gredients, step-by-step instruction, and your own imagination, you too can create YOUR best cheesecake.
