Happy National Cheesecake Day!

Yes, today July 30th is national Cheesecake day and personally I wish I would've known earlier. Cheesecake origins dates back to almost 4,000 years ago ancient Greece, however the cheesecake we recognize today didn't start appearing until the late 18th century. Cheesecake as you could imagine was made with cheese! As well as wheat, flour, butter, honey, but the cheese was not yet cream-cheese based. The reason being cream-cheese wasn't invented yet. The way the story goes a dairy farmer, in 1872 was attempting to replicate the French cheese Neufchatel. Instead, he accidentally discovered a process which made cream cheese.

Then in 1929 owner of the legendary Turf Restaurant, Arnold Reuben claimed that his family developed the first cream-cheese cake recipe. Other bakeries relied on cottage cheese.  Well, no matter who created it, the fact is it is delicious my favorite being the chocolate cheesecake.
