The origins of tiramisù

Its origins are disputed between Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It is said that Tiramisù originated in the Veneto in the 1960s and 1970s, when the owner of a well-known restaurant asked the cook to prepare a dessert to cheer up her daughter-in-law after giving birth to return to work immediately. Since there was a tradition of making 'Sbatudin', which was egg beaten with sugar and given to children and people who lacked strength, the cook added mascarpone, coffee and crumbly biscuits and gave it the name 'Tirame su' in Treviso dialect, which was later Italianised as Tiramisù.
