CHEESECAKE

Narrator Nathan Agin empathetically delivers this delectable tale of how "Cato's Cheesecake," an ancient Roman recipe believed to be the oldest ever found, changes the lives of Greek immigrants on the Upper West Side of New York City. Agin modulates his tone and adds dramatic pauses to enhance this story of risk, opportunity, and love. It's the 1970s, and the Katsikases's recipe is proclaimed a hit by a NEW YORK TIMES restaurant critic, creating an epicurean sensation all over the city. Agin adds tension to his voice as versions of Cato's and the Katsikases's vision soon appear in the bakeries and restaurants of old New Yorkers who are struggling to keep their communities from developers. Agin can't hide the smile in his voice as the comic plot unwinds. R.O. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
