Let the Easter feasting begin



Anyone who knows me, knows that; were there is tradition, there is food.

Easter is no different.



Yesterday we had a quiet Good Friday lunch at home. I like to cook a more formal lunch on Good Friday, usually with our parents and grandparents. The table is set with a linen or lace tablecloth and the good china gets dusted off. We always eat fish. I like subtle flavours and wine wine on this day.

Easter Sunday is always a more casual lunch, an open house for anyone who wants to come. Friends, family, kids and mayhem. I usually cook a roast lamb, served with a table filled with large salads, dips and bread. There is usually red wine and loud music, easter egg hunts and way to much chocolate.

Our menu yesterday:



koulibiaca (a Russian fish pie)



polish potato salad




shaved fennel and watercress salad



a simple salad plate




And for dessert, pear, chocolate and ricotta cake
