Always fun to 'play' on the dessert most loved by Italians. All the chefs do it in their restaurant: Daniel Canzian suggests the 'from home' version of his, enriched with more elements but very tasty as the historical one. It is beautiful to see
There is no chef – of a Michelin-starred Michelin or of a mountain inn – who does not put his hand to tiramisu, the Italian dessert par excellence. Moreover, there is discussion – often controversially – about the origins of the dish which in the 80s became cult first in the premises to subsequently enter all the houses. And if the initial popularity is due to a restaurant in Treviso, To the Beccherie where in the early 70s it was called Tiramesù, there are testimonies of similar sweets in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, even antecedents. Not to mention the sea of legends that set it in the Risorgimento or even in the Medici period. But we do not care much: the greediness of a spoon dessert counts, which stimulates the cooks to play around it. We have provoked Daniel Canzian – venetissimo – who gave us the recipe for an out of the ordinary version, which can still be made at home. «Nothing to say to those who love the classic baking tray, with the recipe handed down from their grandmother, from which to devour it by spoonfuls … But considering that time is not lacking, it is fun to test one's ability playing on a timeless dessert, explains Canzian.
The essence of pastry
Desert Rose is one of the desserts on the menu restaurant named after the chef (in via Castelfidardo, corner of via San Marco, in Milan). But obviously Daniel has revised the recipe thinking of a good enthusiast, equipped with the basic equipment and the … pleasure of precision. That said, theory is more complicated than implementation. "If in any recipe the doses are important, in the pastry shop even more and you cannot remedy the error", underlines Canzian. «And then you need to know the ingredients. Mr. Marchesi he always said that when you reach this level, you can't go wrong. Technique is only a consequence of this knowledge . Final tip? «Stay focused, but also have fun, perhaps listening to good music. And don't be in a hurry in the single steps: a simple dish hides pitfalls for those who believe it is. Then, it is precisely the detail that makes the difference in simplicity .
