Description

This is the nerdy and extremely excessive testing of the tiramisu ingredients I wanted to explore to help inform the ultimate tiramisu recipe. This isn't a video about the ultimate recipe, but how to get there. I hope this will help you reflect your own preferences in your choice of ingredients. I tried all of these different components so you didn't have to, and regret none of it.

"I wanted to know... No, I NEEDED to know how much liquid was in the biscuit." That's what I'm absolutely here for, yes.

Now this is the kind of hard-hitting journalism I can get behind.

Protect this man. He's out here suffering through the most ridiculously amazing coffee and coffee-adjacent rabbit holes and making it an absolute treat to watch. Keep it up James!

No music, no dragging babble, no distractions and unneccessary information dumping. Just pure informative and intriguing video. This is the kind of video that I subscribed for.

4% strength makes a lot of sense because thats around where a moka pot brew sits. thats what most italian home cooks are going to use to get the "espresso" for dipping

The Sainsbury’s (13:46)say boudoir because that’s what savoiardi are called in French. They are originally from the Duchy of Savoy, which had both French and Italian as official languages.

As a person who loves tiramisu and data but is also an overthinker and has difficulty making decisions, I absolutely love every moment of this video. Thank you for the types of data, the tastings, product information and in-depth explanations. This is definitely a labor of love and I greatly appreciate it!

James! Now I am standing here in my kitchen, wanting to make tiramisu, and I realize you Ep#5 is not out yet! How can you do that to me?! 😢
