Easter Recipes

Here are some of Nigella's all-time favourite recipes for Easter.  This time of year is perfect for cooking for friends and family and baking up a storm - not forgetting all the chocolate to be eaten! We’ve got old favourites like Hot Cross Buns and Nigella’s show-stopping, family-friendly Easter Egg Nest Cake, as well as a host of lamb recipes, from Aromatic Lamb Shank Stew to Warm Shredded Lamb Salad With Mint And Pomegranate. And if you’re looking for something a bit different, why not try Nigella’s Indian-Italian inspired Kedgeree Risotto which makes for a lovely Easter lunch, especially with Lemon Meringue Cake or Apple & Almond Cake for pudding. Happy Easter Eatings!
