Food Notes
Mary Colby Bakes Mary Berry’s Easter Simnel Cake
The Easter Simnel Cake is similar to a Christmas fruit cake, but it’s round and a little more interesting, if you ask us. It’s spicy, with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves or allspice. The fruit cake incorporates layers of almondy marzipan and warm apricot jam, and it would be divine with a good cup of coffee or tea.

Every cocktail has a story, and if you’re lucky, you’ve got someone like Robert Simonson, cocktail contributor for the New York Times, telling that story.
