SC - Cheesecakes

[Stefan li Rous]

Rakhel Petrovna asked:

I have been asked by a friend to ask the combined intellects of this group
(including any who are hiding behind rocks :-) if they know of a period
recipe for cheesecake.  The one which my friend made had no base made of
biscuit crumbs - it was simply *all* cheesecake.  I think it had almond
meal and honey in it, but I'd be very grateful to hear of any other
cheesecake recipes.

==========
There was an article in Tournaments Illuminated, around issue 96 or
so that covered cheesecake including several recipes.

You might also take a look at this file in the FOOD section of
my Florilegium:

cheesecake-msg    (17K) 10/27/97    Medieval cheesecake. Recipes.

My files are at:

I have made one of these with good results and tasted others from
the TI article that were good. Don’t expect something like modern
“cheesecake” though.
