Episode 3 Roman cheesecake Libum #1

Here we are at last with episode 3 This is the first of two films about libum- the sacrificial cake of cheese eggs and flour, from the recipe in Cato (75). It could be both an offering to the gods, when it was rather dense and worthy and also, when baked fresh and with a greater ratio of cheese and egg to flour, as a delicate dinner sweet. Apologies for delayed up load. I had hoped to be able to upload a film each week but that has proved impossible, not least because I rely on Rod to edit and create the wonderful effects. I hope you enjoy the credits, he has worked hard making my garden look tidy and lovely when in reality it is typical of any autumn garden i.e. a mess. Let me also introduce you to Zeus - our beautiful mad collie - chasing his tail in the credits. I have also been dealing with 1st proofs of my next book too so rather preoccupied, but they have gone at last and I can concentrate on Roman cooking again. Don't forget to look for the blog post associated with this film on the web site: https://www.atasteoftheancientworld.c... It will be posted on Friday 23rd. Also do please make requests of recipes that I can cook on the Roman hob.
