Eve's Best (and Deena's Favorite) Cheesecake
by Deena247
A former co-worker, Eve L., used to make the absolute best cheesecakes ever. So good, I could easily turn down any other cheesecake just by reminding myself "it's not Eve's!" Her story was that she obtained the recipe from a restaurant in NY (I know, I didn't think restaurants did that either), but here it is.
