You just wittnessed the birth of the oooool tappa tappa

I couldn't remember the name of this channel so I typed in "tappa tappa food" and this came up.

Ok, my father is a world renown over achiever. He's the most stable, intelligent put together person in our entire family. Further more he's also the best cook. Every year he makes all the food for Thanksgiving and most of the food for Christmas. Funnily enough there's always been one thing he could never quite get right, Cheesecake. Well guess who just made a perfect, delicious, lemony, crackless, smooth as a babies bottom cheesecake? That's right! Thank you Chef John for giving me a way to stick it to dear old dad this holiday season. WHO'S A DISAPPOINTMENT NOW YOU OLD BASTARD!

We were the Millionth View on this video. Both my kids (7yr old son and 4yr old daughter) watch your videos everyday before sleeping. They both are your biggest fans. They love how you demo your receipts and your sense of humour!! Thank you and god bless!!!

This video is so old, Chef John had to explain what the ol' tapa tapa was. What the fuck.

FINALLY THE BIRTH OF THE TAPPA TAPPA I was not prepared for this. I think I need to sit down.

The good ol days when Chef John had to describe what the old tapa tapa was all about. Now everybody knows!

Can I just say that I've been doing this cheesecake for the past 8 years. Ever since you put up the video ! I've tried many recipes after it and non of them were as good as this one ! Love it !

I can NEVER resist hearing, "and as always, ENJOY!" It's just so silly I try to copy you EVERY time! Thanks Chef John!

This is the only cheesecake recipe that I use, and it's ALWAYS a crowd pleaser.

I make this for my husband’s birthday every year, he doesn’t have a sweet tooth so it’s the biggest compliment that it’s his favorite dessert, like ever

I made it for the first time and came up perfectly. I made the sauce with raspberry and add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Everybody loved it. Thank you Chef John.

Chef John I been watching your videos for 2 years and I just recently applied to be a pastry chef thanks for the inspiration and plenty of knowledge🤗🤗

Over the years I have made this cake at least a dozen times and each time it is delicious and I get compliments galore. Another great recipe.

Made this for my husband's birthday... came as good as gold... Just blindly followed the recipe..Didnt want to take any chances! Thank you Chef John.

I've made thid twice, once with zest and one without, both were amazing. I hope thid video never disappears because its what I use every time I make them. I love cheesecake 👍👍💜💛

This was my first cheesecake I've ever made. Really easy and I must say it's the best I've ever eaten. Thanks Chef John!

How the hell do people think of putting these random ingredients together to make such a thing? The evolution of cooking food is incredible in its own right.

its great going back and watching these ol videos. Definitely one of my favourite youtube chefs.

I have the memory of a fish, so here I am again for the 5th time I'm making this. It's just delicious.

Ok, so I used your recipe. I have made a lot of cheesecakes and am always looking for a new and better one, well, I FOUND IT! Made it last week...it was amazing. I baked it for an hour...decided to give it 10 more min...came back and it cracked all the way around the edges. It didn't sink in the middle...the top was perfectly flat and it had a great texture. I LOVE IT! I do like a sweet crust though, so I added sugar to it and upped the butter to a whole stick. :)

Over baked my last one by 20 minutes, no crack and absolutely level. The trick, I wrapped some damp paper towel inside aluminum foil and then wrapped the strip around my cake pan. Next trick, after baking, run a knife around the edge of the cake while it is still hot so that when it cools the sides won't stick to the pan thus creating tension in the custard as it cools and ultimately cracking the cake.

Crust Ingredients: 18 graham crackers 3 tablespoons melted butter Filling Ingredients: 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup sour cream 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese 1 1/2 cups white sugar 2/3 cup milk 4 eggs 1 or 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest 1 or 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest

"old tappa tappa....tappa tappa just sounds ridiculous".....make me laugh every time we make cheesecake. thanks for recipe:)

Thank you so much for this! I just tried this recipe and loved the cheesecake. The only thing I changed was I used 2 eggs instead of 4 and adjusted the sugar accordingly. No cracks and taste was just awesome!

I made this cheesecake for my husbands birthday. It is hands down, the best cheesecake i have ever made, including my german chocolate cheesecake which is out of this world. This was so easy. Make it. You won't be sorry.

here in switzerland we have some cheesecake slices to buy with a raspberrysauce on top, baked with the cheesecake. And we were looking for a recipe with the same ingredients like the delicious for soooo long and now... NOW I've found this!! :D perfect, thank you!! I'm going to make this cheesecake for my brother and me tomorrow :)

It seems like every week now i try one or two of the recipes you post haha. And every time, it's a success for me. I tried this today and I'm still waiting for it to chill completely but I took a sneak-piece and wow it's so good!!!

Another trick I have used that helps to keep the cheesecake from cracking is to place a shallow pan of water on the rack underneath. It really helps. Room temperature cream cheese, well mixed batter, cook till the center has just a bit of jiggle left, turn off the oven for cooling down, water underneath.....no cracks. Great recipe Chef John!

Since I first saw this video I've personally watched it 30+ times and made 15+ of these cheesecakes in 2-3 (chocolate) variations. Thanks Chef John!

Happy 4th of July to everybody, who knew making cheese cake was that much fun and easy, thank you.

I love his personality LOL! This looks amazing!

HOLYYYYY COWWW is this the most delicious cheesecake I've ever had...hands DOWN!! Easy too!! I didnt have any zest so I had to ad a splash of lemon juice. It was fine! However, I turned the oven off at the 1 hour mark and never opened the door for 3 hrs! I turned on the interior light after 90 mins and damn if that cheesecake didnt moon me😣.. Like I care lol. Its 🥰🤩CHEESECAKE🤤!!! I The next day my son suck a taste before leaving for work. That night he said "MOM! WHERE did u get that cheesecake?!?!" He almost hit the floor when I told him. He too agreed it was the best ever! (We are HUGE cheesecake fans too!) Thanks chef John I'll be making this again SOON!

Wonderful cheesecake recipe! My cheesecake did not crack; it is a thing of beauty!

"excuses are for losers..." And clearly, Chef John is a winner.

It's my favorite sort of cheesecake! Really good recipe!

I made this cheese cake and along with apple pie for thanksgiving desert!!! it was a success!! thanks for the receipt

Dear god, thank you for the recipe. I love cheesecake since I was a little boy of about 3 years

Wow, that's all the crust is? Awesome! I can't believe I didn't know that. I'm going to try this recipe out tomorrow.

Omg , my first ever cheesecake : 1)tastes awesoooome 2)no crack I have to say , Chef John ,thank you

I made this cheesecake 3 days ago.....everyone that tried it LOVED IT!!!!! Thanks Chef John for making my first attempt at cheesecake a success. I made the Strawberry Sauce as well. DELISH!!!!!

Chef John y r u such a cooking God???? Thank you so much for all the recipes and I know you're gonna whoop ass in the NFNC!!!

Where's the cayenne?

I tried this recipe and the cheesecake was AWESOME!!!! It was the first time I tried NY Cheesecake and I really liked it! Thanks Chef John!

I made this yesterday and it came out perfect! One of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. Thank you Chef John!!

So far my favorite cheesecake recipe ❤️

My favorite quote: "the olllll' tapa tapa"

My mother puts a pan of water on the lower rack when she starts preheating the oven. She leaves it there until she takes the cheesecake out. She tells me that it helps prevent cracking. Maybe. I don't like cracked cheesecakes, so I always do as she suggests.

I've become a fan of grapefruit zest. The flavour of grapefruit zest is so refreshing and yet have this nice body to it. It's a perfect combination of what lemon and orange zest can achieve in a cake. So amazing !

I make this for every Christmas and Easter. It is my favourite recipe.

I like to make this around the holidays with Peppermint and an Oreo crust.

Is This Where The Olllll Tappa Tappa Was Born?

it looks beautiful!! i love it. thank you so much sr

This cake recipe is wonderful !!!! The sun really shines with this recipe and all my friends really really loved the cake~~!!!! Thank you so much for this superb twist~!!!

well that "perfect" cake had an amazing photoshop lol fooled me completely

Aw maaan not fair im strarving! lol Totally going to try this!

I made this and followed your every step.. I did not get cracks on it! IT looks perfect. I am waiting for it to chill so I can put it in the fridge.. it looks so good!

Recipe chef John: 9-inch cheesecake Ingredients: 3 tablespoons melted butter. 18 graham crackers, crushed. 1 cup sour cream. ¼ cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese. 1 ½ cups white sugar. ⅔ cup milk. 4 eggs. 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest. 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest.

Question: Why do we mix the sour creme, flour, and vanilla extract in one bowl before adding it into the creme cheese, sugar and egg mixture in the other bowl? Does it have to do with the airiness? I've made this recipe for a party by the way. it was gone within 20 minutes. Thanks Chef John 😃

Philadelphia cream cheese ;)

Just made another one...so so good. Thank you, Chef John

I’m going to try this, I know it will be good, I use him all the time when I want to make something special and it never failed.

Here is the link to the recipe on the blog (had to search & scroll, so decided to link it): foodwishes.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-york-style-sunshine-cheesecake.html

Back when cheff Jhon had to explain the ol’ tapa tapa

I am addicted to you foodwishes.

I love this guy. Another trick to prevent cracking: cracks happen because of lack of moisture in the oven. See how he put the springform pan on a baking sheet? If you put it into a lasagna pan with walls a few inches high and add boiling water to the pan. It will add moisture to the over and your cheesecake will come out PERFECT.

The ooooold tapa tapa

Having found Chef John in 2019 it's interesting to see how it was in the beginning, when the unique personality isn't as refined and some of the catch phrases and sayings haven't yet been introduced. heh

I slowly baked mine in a water bath, on slightly lower heat, for longer, and it came out so freakin gorgeous!! I also went with 2/3 graham and 1/3 salted pretzel for the crust.👍👌🙌

You make it look so easy! I can't wait to try this.

"Just your standard, from the state of Pennsylvania, cream cheese."

Philadelphia Cream Cheese is made in upstate new york by kraft.

lol its 3 in the morning and I can't stop clicking Chef John videos

amazing how you can make my mouth water right after a huge chinese dinner that my mom cooked. you're so wonderful. :)

I've made this a few times, always with Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Last time I cheaped out and got store version. Turned out horrible. You really do need the name brand version.

i always just make the filling and sit at my desk and eat it... and i wonder why im a fatass

So far every single one of your videos not only makes my mouth water but also makes me want to run into the kitchen and make something. :) Keep up the delicious work!!!

I made this today and it turned out great. very light and delicious. Normally mine drop down but this one stayed nice and high. thanks a lot .

OMG he explains there a Old Tappa Tappa

.....WHY AM I WATCHING THIS AT 23:08 AT NIGHT! (ps sorry for shoutting just really tired

i googled many recipes on cheescake and they always seemed so darn complicated. your video makes it soooooooo easy to make. i love you

haha, i love how chef john makes humor out of his culinary mistakes. an attitude every cook should take =D

could you do a blueberry cheesecake? :D

how would i make this into chocolate cheesecake? I wanna make chocolate cheesecake for a friend of mine's birthday coming up, but when i google chocolate cheesecake recipes most of them come out as the no bake cheater kind and i want to make the real deal

I Just love how easy you make this, no food mixer needed .. love it :))

No matter how hard I try with a cheesecake base it always crumbles. I've changed the butter, thr biscuits, extra butter, compacted the crumbs as hard as possible, even froze the base before baking, but no matter what I do the biscuit base always just falls apart the second I try and take it out of the cake tin.

Your cheesecake isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I make this cheesecake last night and served it today. Oh My God... it was heaven on a plate. Granted it cracked even though I let it sit in the warm oven for 4 hours - I opened the oven after an hour to check if it was fully baked - but the cheesecake was amazing! I was concerned that the cheesecake may be overly citrus-y or the accompanying strawberry sauce may taste funny because of the balsamic vinegar, but the pairing was simply divine. Fantastic recipe!

Love how you explain ! All your recipees ! Hello from your biggest fan from yucatan mexico :D

no bake CheeseCake is a sin against your maker and punishable by death

well as cheff John would say You're the Adolf Hitler of your cheesecake mixture

Chef john, You rock! you have granted my foodwish. THANK YOU

I’ve been making this cheesecake for two years now, just wanted to say thank you! I used to hate cheesecake before this recipe. Something just told me to try this one out and I’d like it. Thanks

YOUR GONNA GET ME COOKING AGAIN! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!

Your "cracked" cheesecake really cracks me up Chef John. But you know we still love you whole heartedly!! LOL!!!.....

Making this for the 4th time, never had it crack on me once! Love this recipe!

Made this today, yum!!! This tastes amazing with a biscotti crust and i did a sour cream topping. I'm in the process of making the strawberry sauce now!

Oh! And also- I don't know what others who have made this have found, but i needed to add a LOT more butter for the crust to take form - it still turned out great! Thanks Chef John!

I did the recipe for Christmas and everyone loved! Got a little crack as well but the red fruits jam covered it lol
