Cheesecake is thought to have originated in ancient Greece as evidenced by its earliest mention in Greek physician's book on the art of making cheesecakes. Since then, cheesecake has been passed down through the generations and entered into the fabric of numerous cultures. Cheesecake was fed to the greek athletes during the Olympics held back in 776 B.C. It was not until when the Romans conquered ancient Greece that eggs and proper baking methods were introduced. As time went by, the recipe was modified several times to get that perfect ratio of smooth to creamy consistency...and an immigrant named Arnold Reuben from Germany, who lived in New York, was so fascinated and intrigued by the dessert, that he decided to experiment with the recipe until he came up with what we know today as the New York Cheesecake.
