“If I had to choose one cheesecake to take to the proverbial desert island, Double-Cream Cheesecake with Sour Cherry Glaze (photo in More Views) would be it. I have made many cheesecakes—all good, all special. This one, however, is a heady delight. It is, without contest, an absolutely quintessential cheesecake—the type you sneak a small slice of every other day when you are not wowing guests with it.” —Marcy Goldman, author of A Passion for Baking

Editor’s P.S.: “Marcy’s cheesecakes are like none I’ve ever tasted—and I’ve tasted a lot of cheesecakes in 21 years as a food editor. This is a chapter of 12 to-die-for decadent flavor combinations that become creamy fillings, beautiful finishing touches, and thick, crunchy crusts (one of her signature techniques). She packs the crust thick and only on the bottom of the pan. Still not convinced? How does Chocolate Eruption Cheesecake sound? Look for it and so much more in this new classic cookbook for bakers everywhere.” —Julie Gunter, Food Editor, Oxmoor House
