Tiramisu is famous Italian cake, whose name in Italian means “lift me up, cheer me up”. It was first made in the city of Siena, in the province of Tuscany, in Italy, in honor of the visit of the Grand Duke Cosimo Medici III. He really liked the cake and that’s why he brought the recipe to Florence. A large number of English artists and scientists lived and worked in Florence, who brought this recipe to England and the cake became even more popular there.

It is believed that today’s version of tiramisu was created in the restaurant “La Beccherie” in the town of Treviso, Veneto province, in the 60s.

There are stories that there was a brothel above this restaurant and that the ladies and courtesans who worked there needed something to “raise” them between numerous meetings and that is why this cake was named Tiramisu.

However, now the food journalists Klara and Gigi Padovani claim that they have found a recipe from the 50s in the province of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Now there is a gastronomic war between these provinces over whose tiramisu it is.

In America, this cake first became popular in San Francisco. The cake is now made all over the world and is one of the world’s most popular desserts, and there are several versions. In the beginning, it was made of light cream, and a few years ago mascarpone cheese was used.
