So this one is a rather special milestone on this culinary
journey; I speak fluent Italian, I have spent a lot of time in Italy, and I have eaten my fair share of Tiramisú!
Tiramisú is a wonderful little pudding that is really very
easy to make, the difficulty is usually in finding all the ingredients in the
same shop. Here in Dublin, there are plenty of Italian shops that sell all
sorts of things which make me homesick for Roma, including everything you need
to make a mean Tiramisú.
‘Tiramisú’ literally means ‘pick me up’. This is derived
from Venetian dialect, where too the pudding comes from. There is no mention of
Tiramisú anywhere prior to the 1960’s. I would guess it’s a dish that has come
in to existence solely due to its ingredients of mass produced foods. See –
processed foods aren’t all bad!
If you’ve never tried Tiramisú before, well, you’re in for a
real treat. If you like cream in your coffee, then this is definitely one for
you.
