Sad to hear today that Ado Campeol has passed away. Campeol was the owner of Le Beccherie, a restaurant in Treviso in northern Italy where the famous dessert "tiramisu" was invented by his wife and a chef.

The dish, featuring coffee-soaked biscuits and mascarpone, was added to their menu in 1972 and has become a firm global favourite ever since. Some of the very best dishes are created by accident and this is a great case in point.
