Meantime, some quick curiosities about this famous Italian dessert:
Did you know that quite appropriately tiramisù means ‘pick me up’ in Italian? Add enough coffee, and you’ll soon see why!
Recipes named “tiramisu” are unknown in cookbooks before the 1960s. The word appears in print in Italian in 1980, and in English in 1982.
There are several legends about the birth of the tiramisu, who claims that it was conceived in Piedmont by a Turinese chef to support Camillo Benso Count of Cavour while performing his work of Italy ‘s reunificationy (1861).
Even further back in time it is said that the tiramisu was created in Tuscany around 1600 during the visit of Cosimo III de’ Medici in Siena.
Here some of the Sienese pastrymen, who were already famous for their skill, decided to homage the Grand Duke making for the occasion a cake that reflected his ersonality: the so called “zuppa del Duca”: a delicious treat made out of a very few simple ingredients.
But it doesn’t stop here.
Some accounts of the origin of tiramisu date its invention to the 1960s in the region of Veneto, Italy, at the restaurant “Le Beccherie” in Treviso.
Specifically, the dish is claimed to have first been created by a confectioner named Alba Campeol, owner of “Le Beccherie”.
She apparently regrets not having patented their creation to avoid the confusion.
In an interview with the writer Pietro Mascioni, former owner Alba Campeol recalls the moment it was invented:
“When my son was born, I was very weak, and my mother-in-law, to help me recuperate some energy, gave me zabaglione. You know, a simple one like the kind we make in Treviso, egg-yolk and sugar beaten together, with a bit of mascarpone cheese… That time, my mother-in-law also added a bit of coffee to it. ‘Mangia,’ she told me, ‘It will lift you up.”
About the origins of the most loved and desired dessert in the world, the most reliable version is that Tiramisu has only one mother, who would give birth to her sweet creature in the far 24 December 1969.
So the time is right, let’s make together this festive delight!
See you soon for a memorable experience of sharing & creating, live from Chef Abram’s kitchen to yours!
