Rhonda Vilardo, co-owner of Tuscan Women Cook, and Arianna Moldovan, make the traditional Italian dessert tiramisu. Tiramisu literally means “pick me up” in Italian, most believe because of the strong espresso used in the recipe. Tuscan Women Cook’s tiramisu is layers of creaminess, punctuated by rows of ladyfingers soaked in espresso. This recipe is typical of those taught during the week-long, hands-on total cooking immersion program offered by Tuscan Women Cook every spring and fall in Montefollonico Italy.
