Are raw eggs safe to use?
If you're concerned, use pasteurized eggs. Alternatively, swap the egg whites for 200 ml of cold heavy cream whipped to soft peaks — the result is richer but equally good.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
What type of coffee?
Strong espresso, cooled to room temperature. If you don't have an espresso machine, use very strong moka pot coffee. Instant espresso powder dissolved in hot water also works in a pinch.
How long ahead can I make this?
Tiramisu is best made the day before — 12–24 hours in the fridge allows the cream to set and the flavors to meld. It keeps for up to 3 days, but the ladyfingers soften further over time.

Castelluccio lentils from the Sibillini plateau have held IGP status since 1997 — small, thin-skinned, nutty, and built to hold their shape through a long braise. This is the Umbrian way: slow soffritto, crushed tomato, a sprig of rosemary, and a serious pour of raw olive oil at the table.

Mozzarella in Carrozza — The Roman Fried Cheese Sandwich That Leaks If You Rush It
Campanian by birth, Roman by adoption — mozzarella in carrozza is cucina povera at its most satisfying: a sealed bread pocket that traps the cheese so completely it's still pulling strings two minutes after you plate it.
