Traveling has a way of reshaping how we see the world. It opens doors to new cultures, introduces unforgettable experiences, and invites us to savor flavors from around the globe. From lingering over hand-rolled pasta in an authentic Italian trattoria to sampling vibrant street food in the bustling markets of Mexico, these culinary encounters can leave a lasting impression that often finds its way back home. Here, locals share recipes inspired by their travels abroad that now live on in their own kitchens. Buon appetito!

“During my trip to Italy, I wanted to walk away with an experience that I could recreate at home and always remember. My boyfriend and I went to a cooking class at an authentic restaurant in Florence, where the chef taught us how to make tiramisu. He reminded us to ‘always cook with love,’ because this creates a memorable, shared experience. This has inspired me to slow down and enjoy creating meals rather than rushing.”

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g heavy cream
  • 200 g mascarpone cheese
  • 60 g sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract or paste
  • 1 egg yolk pasteurized
  • 1 cup prepared coffee of choice
  • 1 package ladyfinger cookies
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg yolk. Beat until smooth and creamy with stiff peaks.
  • In a shallow dish, allow coffee to cool down. (I prepare my coffee with a French press, but any brewing method will work.)
  • To assemble the tiramisu, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, making sure to not oversaturate them.
  • Arrange ladyfingers to line the bottom of a 2-inch-deep dish.
  • Spread half of the cream layer on top of the ladyfingers, then add a second layer of ladyfingers.
  • Add the remaining cream mixture and spread evenly.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
