RECIPE NOTE: Tiramisu ("pick me up") was created in Siena, Italy. It was called Zuppa dei Duce (Duke's Soup). It then migrated to Florence and became popular in the 19th century among the many English folk living in the city. They called it Zuppa Inglese (English Soup) . Only recently the same dessert, with some variation, chiefly the rich Mascarpone cheese for the original custard, has come to be called Tiramisu.Vola -Godire (Enjoy)
