Tastes are changing and the UK has become a diverse mix of culture from all over the world. Christmas and its food fare is a time of tradition but are those changing, is the heavy Christmas Pudding making way for something lighter from further away places? Panettone is an Italian type of sweet bread originally from Milan, usually prepared and enjoyed for Christmas and New Year in Italy. Its popularity in the UK has been on the rise since the likes of well known Italian chefs such as Antonio Carluccio, Gino D’Campo and Jamie Oliver’s friend Gennaro Contaldo have extolled the beauty and sweetness of the popular European festive cake.
