This classic tiramisù recipe was kindly given to me by Marilena, a Tuscan friend who taught me a lot about traditional Italian cooking, combining age-old recipes with the freshest seasonal ingredients, adapting recipes as you go, and never forgetting that one key ingredient: tanto amore! With just 6 ingredients, you can’t get more classic than…

Mousse au chocolat (in French)
Cette recette classique française provient du cahier de recettes de ma mamie, qu’elle a commencé à tenir sur les bancs de l’école en 1937, où on enseignait encore aux filles à cuisiner et à tenir une maison.
