Tiramisu

September 18, 2020 by Jan D'Atri

Tiramisu

I love hearing about the origin of Italian dishes from my Momma, who grew up in Venice, Italy, and who became a gourmet chef when she arrived in America. One of my favorite stories is about a gourmet dessert that America has fallen in love with called Tiramisu. It is believed to have originated at a fabulous restaurant in Treviso, my Momma’s hometown, called Le Beccherie. It was the first place she took me to when I was 18 years old when visiting her town for the first time. Since then, Tiramisu has turned up in most Italian restaurant menus but few people actually know what Tiramisu means. It means “pick me up.” As Momma explained to me, during WW2, rationing was mandatory in Italy, and many people were under-nourished. That was a particular concern for pregnant women who needed to keep up the nutrients and calories to produce healthy babies. Tiramisu was the perfect solution. It’s loaded with protein-rich eggs, and calorie-rich heavy cream and Mascarpone cheese. The espresso would give one a boost of energy, and together the ingredients provided the perfect “pick me up.” The beauty of Tiramisu is that it is so easy to make. The only challenge is, you have to wait 8 hours for it to set up. But it’s worth the wait. Give yourself a delicious pick me up this week with melt-in-your-mouth Tiramisu!

Naked Watermelon Cake

SLICE OF Watermelon CAKE

It’s the kickoff to summer, and time for Watermelon Cake! It’s not just a cake colored red. The watermelon is the actual cake, liberally coated with cake frosting on top as well as in between the layers of melon! By the way, if you’re wondering if icing really sticks to watermelon, it does indeed with an important tip which I’ve included in the directions. You can use any fruit that’s sweet and in season. For this summertime version I’ve opted for strawberries, blueberries and kiwi, with grapes and peaches as garnish. So head to the produce section and grab a nice seedless watermelon and go make a refreshing masterpiece!
