The English chef Heston Blumenthal argues that cheesecake is an English invention. However, there is evidence that the cheesecake was known and was a popular dish in ancient Greece. The Greek physician Aegimus (5th century BCE) wrote a book on the art of making cheesecakes, long before Blumental was a twinkle in his father’s eyes. William Lawrence, from Chester, New York, found a way to recreate the soft, French cheese Neufchâtel using an "unripened cheese"; it is heavier and creamier. Modern cheesecake comes in two different types: baked cheesecake and non-baked, the modern uncooked cream cheesecake on a crumbled-cookie or graham cracker base was invented in the United States in 1872.
