  • I had a great deal of fun, and a lot of great Tiramisu, when I judged the Finals of the Tiramisu World Cup. Congratulations to the winners and also to everyone that entered. Competitions like this are surprisingly stressful, as well as fun, and anyone who shows up has my admiration!

    A more complete translation of the interview at 3:43 with the Brazilian competitor:
    “It would be very important, because in the time I’ve been here I’ve seen that this city lives and breathes tiramisu. Tiramisu is the face of Italy”
    That may need editing to fit in the subtitles, and Id say “winning in the city of tiramisu would be huge” gets the gist of what she said, but in case anyone wanted to know exactly what she said, I offer this translation.

      I guess they got a Spanish speaking person to translate the Portuguese parts because all the translations sort of get the gist of it but are not quite correct, for example, they omit the part where she says she's 48 years old when she started a new Gastronomy course in college, and then won the Brazilian national tiramisu championship... Also "San Paolo" instead of "São Paulo"

      I'm also a Brazilian with antecessors from Treviso, and would love to compete one day aswell. I do wonder if the fact that the tiramisus aren't allowed time to rest changes the strategies used to get the best texture/flavor, as my recipe is much better after 24h in the refrigerator

      @@tiagozilliosoares7988 I too wonder about resting time, but I guess as any other test there are some sacrifices people need to make to compete. I however think you could definitely think outside the box for a recipe on the non-traditional category! Maybe find a way to cool it quickly like liquid nitrogen, or trying to experiment with ingredients like mallow to make a more sturdy consistency

I loved learning about the chefs and I loved learning about what you were thinking as a judge.
    As for the competition, I am absolutely in love, and I'm only sad I can't easily make it there being in the US. I always enjoy these smaller types of competitions, and the choice to allow only non-professionals is excellent. (I honestly wouldn't mind if there was a third category for the professional, but it would have to be clearly shown as the Side Category; I'm most interested in the individuals who just happened into making these desserts!)

    Tiramisu is peak Italian food. Few high quality ingredients combined into something that's undeniably delicious, yet far from simple to make.
    I was hoping you would ask them more questions about the coffee they use, because there's really no right answer to the kind of coffee you can use in a tiramisu. It's something that would be worth experimenting on.

    Just found you by way of ‘fried coffee’ …followed, looks like a great channel, when I have time…this did catch my eye, as I remember making the worlds largest tiramisu at Tutto-Bene some 30yrs ago/at least 650 big tastings that day…just reminiscing-can’t wait to remember about coffee…(lost my memory 25yrs ago)
