Cheesecake a delicious dessert dream! A great weekly special in the Chef’s Handyman recipe blog!
A visit in New York without eating any cheesecake is a no go! Cheesecake is my favorite dessert. Whenever I have the chance to taste and eat an original cheesecake, I will take this opportunity.
There are so much different styles and flavors. My favorite one is the classic cheesecake New York style. Much better is the taste, when eating this piece of heaven in the Central Park. To have a picnic outside in the green!
