5. Gift Guide 2017: World's Best Panettone

I wrote about Roy's Panettone in last year's gift guide, but since then I've come to love this amazing fruit bread even more. I've just finished ordering some for a few special friends, and I thought I'd remind you about it. In addition to the classic, Roy's now making panettone in a few new flavors: pecan-caramel, chocolate or pistachio-cherry.

This is not the cardboard panettone that sits morosely on the table, wishing someone would eat it. This is light, airy fruit bread that vanishes in a flash. Eat a slice and you instantly want more. You can read all about Roy and his obsession with this Italian classic here, in my new column in Town and Country Magazine.

Or you can just cut to the chase and order some direct from Roy.
