I Want To Make Out With The Person Who Invented Tiramisu

No, really. I would seriously make out with the genius who came up with something as goddamned divine as tiramisu, because he (or she) obviously had one sexy mother of a brain.

In which case, I may have to re-evaluate the desire to make out with said dessert creator.

When used sparingly, Chinese Five Spice adds an additional depth of flavor to this pie.

When I first started cooking I wanted to cook things that were fool proof; generally things that didn’t involve an oven or a stove. I’ve always been crazy about late spring and early summer, because there’s a plethora of fruits and veggies on sale that I haven’t even seen for the last six months. This is a ridiculously easy recipe, and the outcome is remarkable. It’s beautiful, light, cheap to make, and delicious!
