The Joy of Cheesecake - 1980

"Cheesecakes are the most sensuous of desserts. After all, what pleasures hath the flesh to compare with a fresh slice of cheesecake and a hot cup of java? What mere carnal escapade can liken to the first bite of creamy white custard? Other confections may please, even delight the palate, but there is something special about cheesecake... something almost sinful in the richness of a well-made cheesecake... something that hints at the possibility of pleasure without limit. Chessecake is excess. Perhaps it is that excess that arouses such strong passions. Forbidden fruit tastes best. You know, we know, everybody knows that each little bite of the stuff will add pounds to our bodies. Somewhere up in the sky a little cholesterol counter is going haywire, and we don't care. Not since the days of Adam and Eve has temptation had such a keen edge..." - The Joy of Cheesecake - Dana Bovbjerg & Jeremy Iggers Published 1980, Barrons, New York Hardcover.
