Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
- Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.

- Beat heavy cream with sugar until stiff. Set aside. Using same beater, beat together ricotta, sugar and sour cream. Gently fold cream and cheese mixes together; add rum. Line an 8 x l3 inch baking dish with lady fingers that have been soaked with the coffee. Pour cream mix over the cake and let sit at least 4 hours or overnight. When set, top with unsweetened cocoa.

- The authentic tiramisu (pick me up) calls for mascarpone cheese, which is relatively hard to get and expensive. I have found the following substitute works well. Be sure you use firm or stale lady fingers so it doesn't get mushy.
