Cheesecake is one of those quintessential New York foodstuffs that in some circles is thought of as unsophisticated. Certainly its name does not roll off the tongue like tiramisù, or tarte Tatin.

   OED has...well, it doesn't have "tarte Tatin."
   It's not much of a secret that this dish is about 100 years old.

   Pierre Balmain was born in the Haute Savoire, region of so many fine cheeses, and he agrees with the old French proverb that "a meal without cheese is like a beautiful woman with only one eye."
   Pierre's favorite dessert is "Tarte Tatin," a famous old French variation of apple pie named for the Tatin sisters.

First Page:  The French regions of Normandy, where apple orchards abound, and the Cologne, a hunter's paradise, both claim to be the home of _Tarte des Demoiselles Tatin_, an upside-down carmelized apple pie.  Both stories claim that the young Tatin sisters helped run the family's country inn and invented this novel pie to delight their patrons.
   Wherever it came from, it's a delicious pie that takes on a special, tangy flavor from the caramel.

"TARTE TATIN WITHOUT CREME FRAICHE", commented our chef, "IS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WITHOUT A SOUL."
So each week, where the grass grows sweet at the French village of Isigny, we take the cream of the cream from the fattest cows and jet it here.  For without the cream of Isigny, there would be no Tarte Tatin at L'Etoile.
