An evergreen cook for all seasons!

Cheesecake is one of those cakes that can earn the maker a reputation as a baker supreme! There are few other cakes that cause so much chatter. "What is that secret ingredient, is it a hint of orange or is it lemon? I detect a scent of vanilla! What chocolate are you using, is it dark and intense or light and sweet?"
