Easter Recipe Roundup

April 17, 2014 By Manu 2 Comments

C168

Today’s post is not a recipe. As the title suggests, I will share with you my favourite recipes for Easter. In the Northern Hemisphere, Easter is in spring and many Easter dishes are linked to spring both in produce used and in theme. While we are in autumn down under, the people who migrated from Europe have maintained their Easter traditions alive. Which means, you will still find recipes with spring time vegetables in this post.
That said, what do Italians eat for Easter? On Good Friday, we don’t eat meat and we usually have a frugal or lighter meal. On Easter Sunday instead, we eat… a lot. We traditionally eat lamb. We also eat eggs, ricotta, artichokes, spinach, zucchini, asparagus… and lots of chocolate. While we tend to spend Easter Sunday with our families, we often get together with friends on Easter Monday and we go “out of town” for a picnic in the countryside. That’s when we have barbecues and all sorts of savoury pies. So expect to find some of these ideas in the links below.
What about you, what do you usually eat at Easter?
