... then dusted with chocolate. There are many variations of the recipe and if you fancy making it for yourself just type in Tiramisu and take your pick! The name Tiramisu literally means pick me up in reference to the strong coffee and sugar content of the dessert. However there is also a story that claims that the dessert got its name because it was created by the God daughter of the confectioner Roberto Linguanotto. As her maiden name was apparently Tiramisu the dessert took on her name. Whatever the truth the result ...more

You've just had the most delightful meal, and are now ready for coffee and dessert, both of which the Italians are VERY good at. The coffee is most probably "Lavazzo", (yummy,see my review, heh, heh) and the dessert is Tiramasu, a dish invented right here in the Tuscany region of Italy. It doesn't come much better than this, I can tell you. It's nearly enough to make me want to jump on the next plane and return once ... Read the complete review
