A sweet slice of Panforte from Corsini with a cup of earl grey tea is my perfect Christmas pick-me-up.
My family traditions include spiced Panforte at Christmas, Pandoro dusted with vanilla-sugar for New Year and dove-shaped Colomba for Easter. I've enjoyed these cakes as part of the festive celebrations and believed they held a traditional and historical significance. As discussed on radio 4's Food Programme today, they may simply be a modern marketing dream!
