I cannot complete my discussion
of Italy without at least mentioning Italian food… Wine and pasta are what I
think of first when I think of Italian food, but my favorite Italian food is
Tiramisu. Tiramisu is a relatively recent invention, with most tracing its
invention to the restaurant “Le Beccherie” in Treviso, Italy. However, there is
some debate over whether this is the case, and several other versions of
Tiramisu’s creation story exist. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiramisu)
Whatever the truth behind
Tiramisu’s invention, it is one of my favorite desserts. Traditional tiramisu
is made with finger biscuits, egg yolks, sugar, coffee, mascarpone cheese, and
cocoa powder. I love the coffee flavor- which should come as no surprise since
I’m basing this whole blog’s premise around morning coffee! Just to tease you…
here is a picture of tiramisu!
Now, I want to know… what is YOUR
favorite Italian food?
Xoxo,
Diana
