Carpaccio’s Sweet Sister
Venice, which was already celebrated in the Middle Ages as a city of sweets, is not only the mother city of marzipan, but also of an old specialty called “tira mi su,” which even up until the 80s was hardly known outside of the lagoon city. Today, tiramisu is the sweet sister of carpaccio, which was also invented in Venice, and almost every housewife and hobby chef knows a very special “secret recipe.” The tiramisu schnitten described here is a special, enchanting variation.
The meaning of the three strange words that sound like a magic spell remains widely unknown. But they mean plain and simply “pick me up!” which is certainly a reference to the function of this rich dessert: After a long meal, you want to be woken up by the strong coffee that saturates the ladyfingers.
