The Story Behind The Dish

Origin: Veneto, Italy

Chef's Notes
“Our mascarpone is whipped by hand — never over-beaten, never under-beaten. The espresso is brewed specifically for the Tiramisu, slightly stronger than our drinking espresso. Each layer is assembled with patience. Good Tiramisu cannot be rushed.”
— Pastry Chef Priya Rao
