Hello everyone! Tomorrow, January 6, is the feast of the Three kings “Tre Re Magi” and as far as I could remember I have always eaten this typical cake here in the Veneto region called “Pinza”. This recipe was given to me by an officemate, Ciso.
Honestly, every time I prepare this typical cake during this moment of the year brings me heartwarming memories of “Epifania” spent with family and friends. Unfortunately, this year will be different. Due to the pandemic. COVID-19 seems to lock everything but it can’t stop me from continuing this wonderful tradition. Happy Three Kings to all!
