Easter is coming, my fellow eaters. Nothing inspires more devotion than good food so here I bring you a bountiful feast for the eyes and, hopefully, for your tastebuds too.
First, let's whet your appetite for facts
Easter Sunday marks the end of a period called Lent (which means saying goodbye to sacrifice and hello to hope). The Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring Eostre gives her name to this holiday which starts on Good Friday. Two days after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, his resurrection is celebrated on Easter Sunday.
It is traditional to eat a chocolate egg in UK. A Simnel cake is also eaten at England and Ireland. It is a fruit cake with a thing layer of marzipan on the top, and another similar layer baked in the middle.
Egg painting
A very common tradition in some European countries and the United States, it is less common in UK.
Food, glorious food
Breakfast and brunch ideas. Cinnamon rolls are the perfect family wake-up call on Easter morning or try for a healthy morning meal with these hashed potatos with greens and cheese.
Main courses. You may get creative decorating this Egg Pizza or serve this tender lamb pot with plenty of bread to mop up the sauce.
Beautiful desserts. Last but not least, sweeten your mouth with these cupcakes inspired by Winnie the Pooh or these easy chocolate crispy cakes.
Did you see these enchanting Nesting Baby-Bluebird Cupcakes?
And the traditional Hot Cross Buns along with its recipe from the BBC webpage. Delicious served hot with butter.
Hungry yet? I bet! Have a good time and bon appetit!
