    I didn't learn anything in this course that I couldn't read on a free blog, or in a recipe book. This could be my misunderstanding that cheesecake is difficult to make. I ended up using a recipe I had from someone that I follow on IG.

    This is my 2nd course with Amy and I can tell that she clearly shows all steps at a reasonable pace. Also, she provides complete recipes that are downloadable. In this course, she has given 4 recipes all from beginning to end, but there are many courses on this platform with 1 short cheesecake recipe at the same price. This course is definitely more value for money.
