- This file contains Cheesecake Recipes from the Nestle's Toll House
- cookbook and Kraft's Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cookbook.
-
- It is amazing to realize that the Cream Cheese is strictly an American
- invention and was only used for sandwiches and snack until the mid 1920's when
- the Original Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cake was published to promote the use of
- this cheese in cooking. It was first published in 1928 and I will include a
- copy of the original here. As you go through the file, remember it all
- started with this simple recipe.
