Yesterday we hosted Easter afternoon tea and BBQ dinner. I thought i would be a bit more clever than usual and try and prepare a lot of things well in advance so that there was minimal to do on the day. Doesn't seem to matter how prepared i am - there is always some chaos. I decided to try some new and old recipes this year:
- mum's tiramisu - always yummy.
- potato bake - a new addition to my repertoire. It must have tasted ok as i spied my brother tucking into a big serve of seconds.
- Devils Food Cake - this doubled as Master 2's birthday cake and was a favourite of mine when i was a kid. Another one of my mum's loved recipes.
- Caprese Salad - Another newby. As per Guy Grossi's Woolworths recipe. Really simple and impressive - bocconcini, tomato, basil, onions and dressing.
- Bunny Biscuits - as per a Woman's Day little cookbook. Another easy one and Master 5 enjoyed helping me ice them. He was so proud of his efforts.
Hubby and I enjoy all of the cooking associated with these sorts of occasions.
Happy Easter and Anzac Day............
