National Blueberry Cheesecake Day and National Cherry Dessert Day in USA

The origins of the cheesecake can be traced back as far as Ancient Greece, when the first recipes for this cake were put into writing. Evidence of early cheesecakes can be traced to the Greek island of Samos as far back as 2,000 B.C., though the oldest existing written recipe is credited to Roman politician Marcus Cato around the first century B.C. In the centuries that followed, the dessert would undergo countless changes until it developed into what we know and love it to be today.
