Something different for Easter

So what's good for Easter this year?  In addition to lovely, beautiful Easter eggs, it's worth remembering little delights such as the Italian Colomba.  Shaped like a dove (Colomba means dove in Italian) this cake is similar in consistency to a panettone - fluffy and light and slow baked, full of vanilla scent - but is different to the panettone in that they add zesty candied orange peel to the mix so that the taste of Spring is so fresh and citrussy you can't help but get excited.
 Apparently it dates back to the sixth century (but then it wasn't quite as delicious and was all heavy and doughy) so we're glad we're eating it now, not then.
