Summary: Truly Extraordinaire
Review: I have used this book for over 5 years and have always had rave reviews from from my dinner guest

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You can't go wrong!
Review: I've always been a pretty good baker, but I was never successful with cheesecakes (after numerous attempts), until I got this book as a gift. Success the very first time!
It is simply the best cheesecake book I have ever seen! With such wonderful recipes (lots and lots!), with very detailed instructions, and many hints and tips, you cannot make a bad cheesecake.
Highly recommend!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Saved the day!
Review: I've made four of the cheesecakes and they are the best around--Rave reviews from everyone. I'll agree with some of the other reviews that baking time should be increased for those wishing a firmer texture. The tips in the beginning of the book are great. I have a dessert business and I'm not going to start offering cheesecakes on the menu.

Summary: THE best desserts in the world. Simple and decadent.
Review: If you want to impress your friends, pick up this book and pick out a recipe. These are simple and the results are the most decadent you will ever taste. Instructions are easy even for the beginner cook. All you need is a springform pan and no caloric limit. Even fat free recipes and yogurt cheese recipes included for those who want to reduce those pesky calories.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DONT EVEN THINK OF IT?
Review: i`ve tried some of the recipes and they all turned = bad quality. this is no good book for a cheesecake lovers

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extraordinary Indeed!
Review: Mary Crownover has pulled it all together! I searched far and wide for a comprehensive cheesecake book and I decided to choose this one for its variety and excellent suggestions and tips.

I believe that good cooking sometimes relies upon one's ability to find and follow good recipes rather than inventing them. Ms. Crownover's book will place any cheesecake baker in that unique position.

When my family and friends ask for the recipes I have made, I e-mail them with an attachment that includes Amazon's info on this book! Credit must be given where credit is due.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Easy recipes, good price
Review: So I'm on a cheesecake kick. I make them for parties, gifts, heck, I've even sold some to friends that have tasted my previous creations. I was running out of ideas when I came across this book. There are many solid, interesting recipes in Crownover's book. Some need some tweaking (mostly depending on your oven), and substitutions are very easy. The best part of this book is that it has encouraged me to look at different recipes and say, "Hey, that would make an interesting cheesecake."

Summary: My cheesecake Bible
Review: The recipes in this book are wonderful. The instructions are clear. The "why's" and "how's" of perfect cheesecake making are explained in detail. I've made good cheesecakes before, but this book has certainly added tasty variety to my repertoire. My tasters always comment on how delightfully creamy and not-too-rich the cheesecakes are. My latest creation, which I re-named "Chocolate-covered Cherry Cheesecake" went over extremely well at a Thanksgiving gathering.
