It was the Italian Academy of Cuisine that announced it, the creator of Tiramisu has passed away.
Ado Campeol passed away yesterday at the age of 93. He was the inventor of one of the most famous desserts in the world: tiramisu. This former restaurant owner in Treviso began serving this dessert to his customers in the northeast of Italy in the 1970s.
The recipe for tiramisu, whose name means “Pick-me-up” (“Cheer me up”) can come in several forms. However, it is always made from a base of eggs, sugar, mascarpone, ladyfingers or sponge biscuits soaked in cold coffee, and cocoa.
According to him, Tiramisu was accidentally created by his wife when she made a mistake in a recipe.
Since the 1970s, it has become a worldwide reference in Italian gastronomy.
In Nice, a city heavily influenced by Italian culture, there are many restaurants that serve this dessert. The reference site “Tripadvisor,” which offers advice and reviews from consumers, has compiled a list of the best tiramisu in Nice.
