Hot cross bun sandwiches
Mix and match these Easter lunch recipes for an impressive autumn spread. For canapés, try Dan Pepperell's devilled Easter eggs for a retro throwback, or the anchovy and tomato bruschetta by Pinbone. For the mains, we've made a choice selection of lamb, rabbit and fish dishes; and we bring the humble carrot to life with Ester's recipe for carrots with garlic, ginger, and smoked chilli butter. For more excellent Easter recipes, we have fish dishes for Good Friday, our best baking recipes for Easter and a selection of our all-time favourite Easter recipes.
For dessert, we've included traditional Easter dessert recipes such as Russian kulich and Greek Tsoureki, plus some hot cross bun-inspired cannoli.
