History[edit]

Article currently reads:

The dessert was described in an Italian cook book from 1475

The 1475 date is presumably Platina, de honesta voluptate, but I couldn't find this recipe there. Does someone have a page reference? It is also said elsewhere that it is mentioned in Bartolomeo Scappi, but again, I can't find it. Article also says:

...and was often served in the home of Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia.

which seems less likely to be documented.... --Macrakis (talk) 16:45, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
