Tiramisu

This next blog post will be about Tiramisu, Tiramisu (translating into “lift me up” is an Italian, coffee-flavored dessert. Its origins aren’t exact though it is said to come from Italian regions such as Veneto, Fruili Venezia Giulia, Piedmont and others.
Some of the main ingredients are:

• Marscarpone
• Marsala
• Strong Coffee, Coffee Granules
• Dark Chocolate
• Cocoa Powder
• Savoiardi (crisp Italian ladyfingers biscuits)

In my culture and family, food itself plays a very important role in our everyday lives. I am proud to say that we are all very passionate when it comes to food. Though we have preferences and certain dishes, like Tiramisu, are saved for important moments. As all of us love this dish very much, we have designated it to birthdays and special occasions. This dish is always able to liven up the mood (just like its name states) and is always present for cherished family moment.
