A story:
There are many different recipe names for a cheese cake.... in German it is a Käsekuchen or maybe a Quarktorte or Käsewehe as it is called in Schwitzerland? In the 17th century it was called "Egg-cheese-cake".
In any case, it is known that already in ancient Greece or in the Roman Empire cakes were baked with curd and sour cream. The first cheese cake probably came from the French professional chef Taillevent, who described the pie at the end of the 14th century in the cookbook "Le Vaindier".
