I have never made cheese cake before but I was thinking about making it for my husbands birthday. What do I have to do to make a cheese cake. I know I could look it up online but I want one that is easy and know will taste great.

Great topic. I love cheesecake. Pretty much any kind. I had a friend who made one years ago but we can't find the recipe. Now do all cheesecakes have to be cooked??? I mean it sounds like the crusts have to bake but doesn't the cheese part have to be cooked too. I'd love to see more recipes. Keep posting.
