Easter Recipe Fun at Home

Easter is nearly upon us and it is the perfect excuse for some fun in our home kitchens! What is your favourite Easter recipe? Whether you love Simnel cakes, Easter cookies, hot cross buns, roast lamb, or simply chocolate treats, at Cookpad we believe they all taste better when we make them ourselves!

We have a fun Easter activity booklet for young foodies during the school holidays, full of easy recipes, games and colouring. You can download the booklet, Food For Little Cooks: Easter Recipes & Activities here.  

This year we think an outdoors Easter is a great idea. If the weather isn’t great, why not provide cosy blankets and a fire pit to sit around. Check out our newsletter for some outdoor Easter BBQ and picnic ideas that you can cook indoors then wrap up in foil to keep everyone warm and toasty.
