New York City - NYC

Cheesecake in its present form is a relatively “young” culinary invention, but cheesecake itself goes back for centuries. With the natural sweetness of young cheese, it was natural that it wouldn’t take long before some smart cookie started playing around with it in desserts.
All the way back in Roman times, in the first century A.D., there was a sweet cake often used as a temple offering called libum. See if the ingredients sound a little familiar: cheese, flour, eggs and occasionally honey. Culinarily, that’s not all that terribly far from what we know today, although the libum was designed to be cooked and wrapped in leaves in a fire. These are a few steps removed from a Viking oven with electronic temperature control.

When the Romans invaded most of Europe and part of Asia, they brought their foods with them, including libum. The genius of the libum recipe is that it’s made of ingredients that are available in almost every culture. It’s also very simple, for more details visit to www.chef-123.com so even the most inexperienced or illiterate (as most were back then) cook can execute it with a fairly high chance of success. Another benefit to its simplicity is that it’s open to interpretation, and one look at the vast array of modern cheesecake varieties will tell you that has happened in a big way.

Numerous people and restaurants, as with any food discovery traced back to the early 20th Century, claim cheesecake in New York. The most popular candidate, however, is Arnold Reuben, who owned the now-legendary Turf Restaurant in New York City. He claimed the New York cheesecake was a family recipe, for more details visit to www.cat-head-biscuit.com and his claim deserves legitimacy if only for the number of people who were introduced to the wonders of its simple flavors at the restaurant.

Wherever the New York cheesecake recipe came from, and whatever person or family we have to thank for it, it has become a landmark on our culinary landscape and one of the cornerstones of what we now call American cuisine.

Hey guys! So my friend’s birthday is coming up and I wanted to take him to a restaurant in new York. He’s not too crazy about the crowds in the city,though I know there are probably tons of great places to eat there. I don’t want a fancy restaurant, but nothing too shabby either. Cuisine could be a range of things, but perhaps with a slant towards Italian?
A relaxing environment would be preferable, as would good service.
Suggestions? Any favorite places of your own?
Thanks you for your help!!!
