All that nourishes the Soul and rejuvenates and gives you Bliss.

I have found that my passion includes cooking! I never cooked as a young person, living  with mom she always made great food and frankly there was no reason too. Where I came from, everything was freshly cooked and it was a way of life to go out and dine with friends and chat about the goings on in the world!

Now I will try everything , I am not great but I love it. It distracts me from the serious side of life. A human person is someone who needs all sorts of nourishment and Bliss not only for the Soul but in every aspect of one's being.So walla, here's is one of my favourite recipe's, maybe you can try it at home and see what bliss happens to you!Here's a dessert that I lurrv and I am sure I am speaking for the entire human race, well almost, Tiramisu. We need to learn more about its origin. Thank you to the Italians who brought Soul and Bliss to the meaning of dessert.

TiramisuTiramisu (Italian: Tiramisù; Venetian: Tiramesù " [tirameˈsu]) is one of the most popular Italian cakes. It is made of savoiardi (otherwise known as lady finger biscuits) dipped in espresso or strong coffee or rum, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks, mascarpone cheese, and sugar, and topped with cocoa.



Tiramisu has become a very popular dessert. The recipe has been adapted into cakes, puddings, and other varieties of dessert.

[edit] History

There is some debate regarding tiramisu's origin, as there is no documented mention of the dessert before 1983.[1] In 1998, Fernando and Tina Raris similarly claimed that the dessert is a recent invention. They point out that while the recipes and histories of other layered desserts are very similar, the first documented mention of tiramisu in a published work appears in an article from 1971 in Treviso by Giuseppe Di Clemente.[2][3] Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary gives 1982 as the year of origin.[4]



Several sources (from Vin Veneto, dated 1981, to the Italian Academy of Giuseppe Maffioli and several cuisine websites) claim that tiramisu was invented in Treviso at Le Beccherie restaurant by the god-daughter and apprentice of confectioner Roberto Linguanotto, Francesca Valori, whose maiden name was Tiramisu. It is believed that Linguanotto named the dish in honour of Francesca's culinary skill.



Other sources[who?] 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. Alternatively, accounts by Carminantonio Iannaccone[5] as researched and written about by The Washington Post[3] establish the creation of tiramisu by him on December 24, 1969, in Via Sottotreviso while he was head chef at Treviso, near Venice.



The original recipe[which?] called for the following ingredients: savoiardi biscuits, eggs, sugar, mascarpone, cocoa powder, honey, and carbonated water.



In the original recipe, there was no liquor as the cake was originally aimed at children and the elderly[citation needed]. The phrase tirami su literally means "pick me up" or "pull me up" in reference to the effects of the espresso.



[edit] Preparation

Tiramisu is made by soaking savoiardi biscuits in espresso with the optional addition of liquor and sugar and layering them with a mixture of mascarpone cheese and zabaglione, a light custard made with Marsala wine or a liqueur. Cocoa powder is sprinkled on top of the dessert, which is refrigerated before being served and eaten.
