Reviews
"Mark Kurlansky is among our most intelligent, prolific and literate writers about food." -- Mark Bittman, The New York Times "The atmosphere [Kurlansky] creates is vivid and oh-so-New York ... Good fun." -- Kirkus Reviews "Satisfying . . . Kurlansky keeps the plot gliding along, thanks to the larger-than-life Katsikases and a host of affable peripheral characters who bemoan the ravages of gentrification. There's plenty of substance to this delectable feast." -- Publishers Weekly "Mr. Kurlansky is a veteran writer . . . He has come to be known for his ability to weave history, philosophy and personal experience into compelling narratives . . . Often marvelous." -- Wall Street Journal on THE UNREASONABLE VIRTUE OF FLY FISHING "The sort of book that Proust might have written had Proust become distracted by the madeleine . . . you step away from this book with a new vantage on history." -- New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice, on MILK! "Elegant . . . related with vast brio and wit." -- Los Angeles Times on COD "Magnificent . . . a towering achievement." -- Associated Press on THE BIG OYSTER "Vibrant . . . [fans] will enjoy the twinge of irony served alongside a story of rich, Manhattan-infused life and honey-laced, fresh goat's milk cheesecake." -- Booklist, "[Kurlansky] is, to put it simply, a damn fine writer and he's crafted a delightful story . . . Cheesecake is a buoyant and entertaining read." -- The California Review of Books "The atmosphere [Kurlansky] creates is vivid and oh-so-New York . . . Good fun." -- Kirkus Reviews "Rollicking . . . Kurlansky has a gift for drawing characters whose wackiness does not detract from their likability as New York archetypes." -- Library Journal "Vibrant, funny, and at times bittersweet . . . Longtime New Yorkers may feel wistful for a bygone neighborhood so lovingly rendered . . . and others will enjoy this glimpse of a small town within a metropolis. Mark Kurlansky lends his considerable skills to this loving tribute to Manhattan's Upper West Side during the booming 1980s." -- Shelf Awareness "Vibrant . . .

Synopsis
From New York Times -bestselling author Mark Kurlansky, a delectable novel following an ancient recipe for cheesecake as it spreads through the Upper West side--from the restaurant of a conniving landlord to the kitchens of the old-school New Yorkers he's trying to force out--and to the parties, feasts, and apartments they're not willing to give up that easily., From New York Times bestselling author Mark Kurlansky, a delectable novel following one Manhattan block as an ancient cheesecake recipe-and a conniving landlord-change the Upper West Side forever. West 86th Street knows its desserts. It's the 1970s, and poppyseed strudel, praline ice cream cake, and New York cheesecake are as integral to Manhattan's Upper West Side as clustered pigeons, suited doormen, and greasy diners. That is, until Cato comes to town. Cato the Elder, a Roman born in 234 BCE, is credited with the earliest written recipe ever found. A recipe for . . . cheesecake. No cream cheese, no graham cracker crust, somehow savory and sweet, the recipe is enigmatic-and suddenly, it's all anyone on West 86th Street can talk about. The Katsikases, a Greek cheesemaking family who immigrated to open a restaurant in New York, added Cato's pastry to their menu as a ploy to attract "upscale" diners. After a glowing write-up in the Times , the recipe becomes a neighborhood fixation-and the Katsikases' patriarch, Art, buys up as much of the block's real estate as he can. As the portentous pastry appears in the lives of the old-school residents Art is pricing out of their apartments, a sidewalk view of West 86th Street emerges: A high-profile family planning a high-pressure bat mitzvah, a painter's muse with a terrible secret, an eccentric art collector plotting revenge. Sometimes laced with green M&Ms, sometimes with sage, sometimes with spite, Cato's cheesecake heralds change as West 86th Street is transformed for good.
