Let Them Eat Cake


In Italy, there seems to be a cake or pastry for every occasion: Schiacciata con L'Uvo for the grape harvest, Panettone for Christmas, Cenci for Carnevale and La Colomba for Easter.

I took gingerbread cookies to a Christmas party and the assembled guests were amazed there isn't one treat--aside from maybe pumpkin pie--that Americans collectively eat on our holidays.

This bread has peaches and pine nuts and almonds.

I kinda feel I should be making hot-cross buns or something.
