--- author: Eric Wagoner date: '2000-09-28T03:47:59' draft: false title: My dad (hi, dad!) makes --- My dad (hi, dad!) makes the best cheesecakes. All kinds! I don't recall when or how he got started, but one day he was the cheesecake expert and was making them for all occasions and selling them to neighborhood people who wanted the best. I watched, and he taught, and now I can make cheesecakes that are almost the best. CNN's food section [has a nice page up on home cheesecake making](http://www.cnn.com/2000/FOOD/news/09/28/cheesecake.lat/index.html), along with three nice looking recipes.
