The weird meets the wonderful in this show-stopper of a Roman sweet-cheese dish that will see you sneaking more of it long after you've had your fair share. Derived from a 2,000-year-old recipe by Apicius and a bronze 'pastry' clam shell mold found at Pompeii, hypotrimma with defrutum glazed spelt biscuits is a stunning example of the complexity and sophistication of Imperial Roman culinary culture and flavour preferences.
