Inventor of Tiramisu dies

I read recently of the death of Roberto Linguanotto. Known affectionately as "Loli" to friends and colleagues, Linguanotto is said to have invented tiramisu in the early 1970s while working at Le Beccherie, a restaurant in Treviso, Italy. The story goes that he accidentally dropped mascarpone cheese into a bowl of eggs and sugar, liked the taste, and developed the recipe from there. Many nice things seem to have begun as accidents.
