Easter recipes tend to fall into two camps: crowd-pleasing classics and irresistible sweets – and I’m here for both. This collection is full of relaxed, flavour-packed dishes perfect for long lunches, easy entertaining, or just making the most of a few extra days at home.
Whether you’re hosting brunch, bringing a plate, or wrangling hungry kids after an egg hunt, these recipes are designed to be make-ahead friendly, low-fuss and full of seasonal joy. You’ll find flavour-packed mains like Easter Lamb Kofta with Fattoush Salad and Hummus and Rosemary Garlic Lamb Shoulder with Gravy – both impressive without being high effort. If you only eat fish on Good Friday, there are plenty of delicious options, such as Baked Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon. Cheat’s Moussaka makes an ideal make-ahead bake for sharing, and for side dishes that go with everything, Roast Pumpkin, Feta and Candied Walnut Salad and The BEST Roast Potatoes are unmatched. It’s all about enjoying good food with good company – no last-minute stress required.
Whether you celebrate Easter or are just here for the long weekend food vibes, these recipes will help you serve up something special.
