I am trying to pin down the word "cefame." It appears in an Italian manuscript that has been dated to about 1450-1460. It may be a term in Italian cookery of the time. Would anyone who has ever encountered this word please tell me about it. Thanks very much for any help. -- Regards, Frank Young tipcat@wam.umd.edu 703-527-7684 Post Office Box 2793, Kensington, Maryland 20891 "Videmus nunc per speculum in aenigmate...
