Italian "Chinese Street" news: A few days ago, Ado Campeol, the chef who invented Tiramisu, the most famous dessert in Italy, passed away at the age of 93.
On October 30, Zaya, president of the Veneto region of northern Italy, confirmed on social media that Italian chef Ado Quimper, revered as the father of Tiramisu, had died in his hometown of Treviso.
Since his youth, Ado Quimper has worked in a restaurant called "Le Beccherie" owned by his family in Treviso, which specializes in traditional Italian cuisine.
In the early 1970s, inspired by the "sbatudin" dessert of a local egg-beaten coffee in the Veneto region, Quimper and his wife soaked the biscuits in espresso for the first time by mistake, plus a layer of mascarpone cheese and cocoa powder, thus giving birth to the prototype of tiramisu.
But according to Carlo, the son of the Quimpers, the invention of Tiramisu should actually be attributed to his mother, who was completely accidental when she fed him
"At that time, my mother soaked the biscuits in coffee and mixed it with some mascarpone cheese to keep herself energetic.....Finally, with the efforts of the kitchen team throughout the restaurant, tiramisu was made into a pudding."
In 1972, the option "tiramisù" appeared on the menu of The Quimper restaurant for the first time, and the name Tiramisù actually comes from Treviso's dialect "tireme su", which means to make me full of energy.
After first appearing on the table in the early 1970s, the tiramisu dessert quickly conquered Italy and swept the world's sweets lovers, becoming synonymous with Italian desserts and entering the Italian Cuisine Association's italian cuisine certification list.
As soon as the tiramisu came out, it quickly became a hot spot, which did not make the generous Quampel family have a ripple in their hearts, they have never applied for a patent for this dessert, but they have also won Ado Quampel the resounding title of "Father of Tiramisu".
"With the death of Ado Quimper at the age of 93, Treviso has lost another food superstar."
