I loooooooooooooooooooove tiramisu but i need to find out how it came into existence, please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the origin of tiramisu
Several sources (from Vin Veneto, dated 1981, to the Italian Academy of Giuseppe Maffioli and several cuisine websites) claim that tiramisu was born in Treviso at "Le Beccherie" restaurant in the hands of the confectioner Roberto Linguanotto, also known as Loli. Other sources report the creation of the cake to have originated in the city of Siena. Some confectioners were said to have created it in honour of Cosimo III on the occasion of his visit to the city.
The original recipe called for the following ingredients: savoiardi biscuits, eggs, sugar, mascarpone and cocoa.
In the original recipe, there was no liquor as the cake was originally aimed at children and the elderly and the original shape was round. The name Tiramisu is Italian and means "pull-me-up" (Tirami su), a reference to the effects of the sugar and espresso, and can be translated figuratively as "pick-me-up". Alternatively one can translate Tirami-su literally as pick me up.
