But when did this craze really begin? How did we get from the early days of cheesecake to the famous Cheesecake New York Style that we enjoy today? Cheesecake was a very popular dish in Ancient Greece. But when the Roman's conquered Greece, the secret fell into the hands of the Romans and nothing's been the same since. Actually, the Roman version of cheesecake was much different from the Greek form of the delicious wonder. Roman cheesecake became known as placenta. It was sometimes baked on a pastry base and other times it was enclosed in a pastry case. The Roman cheesecake was actually often used as an offering to the Gods. In the first century BC, a gentleman by the name of Marcus Pocus Cato came up with a wonderful recipe for cheesecake. He lived from 234 to 139 BC. He was a Roman politician. See, even politicians can have good taste in food. This recipe of his was the only work of his that was ever preserved, which is quite ironic since his main focus was in politics. This recipe that he came up with was often given as a temple offering. It wasn't until 230 AD that the first "modern" recipe for cheesecake was recorded. This was a recipe that was recorded by Athenaeums, a Greek writer. By today's standards, this recipe, which reads as follows, would be considered laughable. It wasn't until 1000 AD that cheesecake was finally brought to Great Britain and Western Europe. Roman conquering armies did this. Shortly after this time cheesecake slowly spread throughout the area. The number of different recipes also started to increase and began to look a little more like the ones we're used to today. You will notice the English is quite bad. This was how the actual recipe was printed. Obviously the English language itself has come a long way in 500 years. Since that time, cheesecake recipes have become quite elaborate and quite good. Cheesecake New York Style is probably one of the most popular. Now that you know how cheesecake came to be, why not run out and get yourself a good slice of cheesecake. You deserve it, after all.
