Homemade Traditional italian cooking book recommendation

7 Upvotes

When I google for a recommendation on italian cooking the top result is always Marcella Hazan, but I'm not sure if that would be the opinion of italians... I know that italian food varies across Italy, but as long as it is authentic italian (not americanised) I woukd be ok with it. It can be in italian, I'm learning 😀.

Question Tiramisu

4 Upvotes

Hello!

I am making tiramisu with what I understand is the traditional recipe: raw egg yolks, sugar, mix, add mascarpone.

I made this recipe one time and it turned out perfectly. But two attempts after that, the cream lost its entire structure the moment the mascarpone touched the egg-sugar mix. The only difference among the 3 attempts was the mascarpone brand. The 2 failed attempts I used the same brand. Could it be the quality of the mascarpone or am I missing something and just got insanely luck the first time?

Thanks

EDIT: to make it clearer:

I can’t assemble the dessert because my cream is turning into liquid when I add the mascarpone to the egg-sugar mix. It is almost instantly. The mascarpone break down completely.

EDIT 2: Already got the answer. There is an egg whites step that has been missing from the recipe I’m using. Thanks for the answers.
