Thank you for sharing my piece, Laura, and I'm honored to be the first of the series! This video holds a special place in my heart and I hope others enjoyed as well. Haven't had a panettone yet this year – looks like I'll have to take care of that right away! If anyone is interested, this pastry shop is called Martesana and it is truly a cut above the rest.

Made a note should we get to Rome in the next couple of years. How could it not be you first, Anna: this piece is so heart-warming and evocative. Thank YOU! xx

Oh this is just so lovely! This piece feels like a warm embrace. I am a person who would class herself as ‘flakey’ (no baking pun intended) because I never seem to stick to one thing. Perhaps that’s ok, perhaps there’s a deeper meaning as to why I can’t commit for the long haul.

But I’m finding myself so inspired by the point of committing to one single thing to set that ‘new standard’.

yes that's exactly how it feels: when I read it it made me feel so good, I just knew it had to be the post for day 1! And yes that's ok, we find our commitment in different ways eh? xx

Ahh watching this made my heart so happy! The talent, the passion, the beauty. When I was 15 I spent Christmas in Rome and panettone became my favourite treat this time of year ✨

Panettone and good coffee - simple pleasures of December! How glorious! Thanks both. I’ve had some today. I’ll have to buy another before actual Christmas! ✨🌲✨🕊️

I loved this piece! Every year I buy panettone as gifts and every year I have to rebuy them as they get eaten before reaching their final destination!
