July 26: Bring Out Your Favorite Cheesecake Recipes - It's National Cheesecake Day!
Many people underestimate the history of the cheesecake, as its origins actually date back to Ancient Greek culture. The earliest recorded reference to cheesecake comes from a recipe book written by Aegimus, a physician. However, modern cheesecake was invented with the creation of cream cheese by William Lawrence in 1872.
Today, cheesecake is available in different varieties all over the world. In America, cream cheese is most commonly used; however, in Italy, ricotta is the cheese of choice, while quark cheese is used by Germans and the Polish. It is also possible to eat baked and unbaked cheesecakes, and different regions and countries prefer different methods of making cheesecake.
Did you know that you can also make savory cheesecakes, or buy cheesecake which are often eaten as a starter or a hors d'oeuvre? Because there are so many ways to enjoy cheesecake, the food is a favorite of top chefs and food stylists.
