Thanks tanju2 I will check the Wingate Store. Yes I agree P&S seems to have a limited selection. Just when you get used to buying a product it disappears

Mrs T. loves tiramasu.This recipe was in a cookbook we bought on a P&O cruise last year. She hasnt cooked it yet so cant say how it turns out

Unusual to have marzipan in it - you can use almond paste instead though

Marzipan in Tiramasu? Nooooooooooo
Sure you don't mean mascarpone?

There are recipes which mention marzipan but they're not in English so I'm still not sure where/how it's used

I dragged out my Italian food bible (The Silver Spoon) and marzipan isn't mentioned. so its a no no for me however understand there may be other renditions

Unless they are using it to replace the flavor of amaretto maybe? Some more modern versions have this as an ingredient (the original recipe doesn't have this liquor in it)

I use Kahlua in mine because I've struggled to find masala - the rest of my family don't like marzipan anyway do think I'll stick with my version

I got mine from the Mill Sarah, a couple of years ago now, don't know whether they still stock it.

Oh thanks for that - they're about to change hands again I think but might try again, or Big Barrel have a good range too

NO The recipe has mascarpone (and Kahlua) as well. But the recipe book seems to have USA origins so it may be over the top ingredients-wise

It's sounding increasingly odd. Tiramisu is usually quite a simple dish made with sponge fingers, mascarpone, eggs, brandy, rum, coffee, grated chocolate and sugar.
What part does the marzipan play in your recipe tigra?

That's what I was wondering too.
I don't use rum or brandy in mine - originally its supposed to be made with marsala (mis-spelt it first time) I think but it's hard to find around here. I use Kahlua but apparently you can use madeira or dry sherry as an acceptable substitute as well, or half and half brandy and grape juice.

I think I'll stick to a more traditional recipe thanks

Ha ha. Me too. That lemon concoction is nothing like a tirimasu.
