[Sca-cooks] a sampling of ancient Roma

[Alexa]

Wow, those sound yummy.  (Relatively new to the period
cooking. So, often my sources are limited)
Where did the cheesecake recipe come from?  I am a
fond lover of desserts.  
And I thought this one was exeptionally different due
to no crust.  

Thanks,
Alexa
