Happy Easter!
If you are looking for festive and easy recipes for Easter Brunch look no further.
Nurse Gathergood’s Sponge Cake
In the 1980s, my brother Godfrey used to make sponges using this recipe, which came from the local public health nurse, Ailsa Gathergood. Godfrey, then a sheep farmer, busy entrepreneur and father of five, reckoned the secret was to ‘beat the s–t out of it’. Use electric beaters, even if you have forearms honed by wrangling sheep and small kids.
French Crepes
When I was little, my father travelled a great deal, teaching cooking classes across the country. When he was home, he’d often make crêpes for us as a late breakfast. Now we make them for Shorey, and when we visit my parents, Shorey’s grandfather makes them for all of us. I hope these become part of your family.
Vegan Hot Cross Buns
“Since Easter is just around the corner and most of our time will be spent at home for the next four weeks, why not bake some delicious Hot Cross Buns”?
Blushing Goddess
Enjoy this festive drink during the Easter season. All you have to do is choose your favourite gin, mix and take a sip!
