Woman&Home Celebration Food Magazine

"For many of us, Christmas is typically the time when we gather together with our loved ones to enjoy good food, catch up and relax, but this year’s festive season proved to be underwhelming and isolated for many of us. But as the months pass and the bitter chills of winter transform into the first signs of spring, the changing of the seasons brings with it a wave of hope and optimism. As the vaccination program is rolled out across the world, we can finally see a light at the end of this long and lonely tunnel. It’s only a matter of time before restrictions relax and we’re able to see our family and friends once more. Easter, too, is just around the corner. We might not have been able to spend Christmas with our nearest and dearest, but it’s looking increasingly possible that we might be able to see a small selection of our loved ones in the not-too-distant future. With that in mind, we’ve – perhaps optimistically! – pulled together some of our favourite seasonal recipes from woman&home, including several delicious ways to cook lamb this Easter, as well as divine chocolate puddings that’ll go down a treat at your long-awaited reunions with family and friends. Regardless of what happens with lockdowns and restrictions over the coming months (whether we can come together to see our loved ones in time for Easter or not) hope is well and truly on the horizon. It’s only a matter of time until we can spend time, celebrate and party with our nearest and dearest once more!"
