Easter Feasting: Unique Twists on Traditional Easter Treats
Easter is a time for indulgence, celebration, and plenty of delicious food.
In our Spring issue, local caterer Marie Claire Alphonso gives us the most incredible recipe for Hot Cross Bun Bread Pudding. Do take a look!
For further ideas, whether you’re hosting a brunch, planning a chocolate-filled weekend or looking for creative ways to put a twist on tradition, we've come up with a few other fun and easy ideas that will add something special to your Easter spread.
1. Hot Cross Buns with a Twist
Take the classic hot cross bun to the next level by adding chocolate chips, dried cherries, or even a splash of espresso for a mocha-inspired treat. I've had a bit of luck with this BBC Good Food recipe. Warm them up and serve with a spread of spiced butter for a rich, comforting bite. If you fancy baking your own, a quality baking set is a great investment.
2. Easter Brunch: The Ultimate Spread
Instead of a traditional roast, why not host an Easter brunch? Think fluffy pancakes, fresh fruit platters, and smoked salmon bagels. Pair your feast with a luxurious hot chocolate.
