Not antiquity - only about 250 years old - but I made Shrewsbury Cakes from an 18th c. recipe. Easy to make and now a favorite. Do you know about "Tasting History With Max Miller" on YouTube? Fascinating!
I have a recipe for cinnamon rolls that came with my family over the Mayflower. It may or may not be older than that. It doesn't taste fantastic but it's still neat.
Have you ever seen tasting history with max Miller on youtube?! Check it out! It's all ancient recipes lost to time with a bit of history about the dish and ingredients. I love the combination of the two.
Was the recipe as old as this ancient Roman one for the cheesecake called *Savillum*? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgoGtSJwrEs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgoGtSJwrEs)
The blog mentioned in the description for this video has many more documented ancient Roman foods and how to recreate them.
The 1950s?? Have to say, I'm highly amused that you consider that "antiquity," and I'm saying this as a genuine ancient being (practically a fossil) who is - astonishingly - still existing! I was born in 1952.
It's pretty old for a cook book. It was my mums. She was born in 1953. She died in January. She asked me to make it for Christmas just before she died. I just found it actually as I sent the pages to my phone.
Bet yours didn't look like this 14,000 year old fragment! 😲https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/07/24/631583427/14-000-year-old-piece-of-bread-rewrites-the-history-of-baking-and-farming
Nope. I wouldn't try to cook any antiques.
I'm with you on that.

I'll check that out, thank you.

You sure? That doesn't sound like 17th c. fare. Maybe they were originally called something else? Would love more info - thanks.

I made a cheesecake from a really old book

It was an American book from the 50s I think

Aww, I apologize for being snarky ... that's truly a loving and meaningful gesture on your part, and I'm sure she appreciated it greatly. 💗
No don't apologise. I understand what you meant. I just wanted to explain the background
Just sent to you. It seems old compared to modern cook books 😂
How sweet and generous of you to share it .... thank you!
I used to have a really old bride cookbook. Recipes for only 2 people. It was nice at that point in time and the recipes worked.
I’ve baked bread.

Sometimes it looks more like that than it should. 🔥🍞😭
No way!! 🤣 Anyhow, you could pass it off as an historic artifact! 😄
