Happy Easter

We look through the window and all the gardens are full of flowers and singing birds. The sun is shining, and we can notice that Easter Holidays are here. However, due to the pandemic which affects almost every country, this year we hardly celebrate Easter the same way we used too. We need to be creative and come up with original ideas on how to convert our traditional celebration into a smaller, but rather enjoyable one.

It is a good way to entertain ourselves with a gluten free egg hunt inside the house, or maybe in the garden. The egg-hunt only consists of hiding chocolate-eggs or bonbons in some place and youngsters need to find them. It is a traditional way of celebrating Easter in many countries. Let’s give it a try 😉

Have you ever tried to paint eggs? Did you know that it is a tradition for Hungarian people to decorate eggs for Easter? These eggs were the award for the men who visited the women and sprinkled them with perfumes of water and said a poem. Why not to paint the eggs with your family at home. You can use any natural colour gained from the vegetables for the painting or also you can apply techniques with wax and thread. Painted eggs can be a function as a nice decoration for your house. Here’s some inspiration for you 😊

An Easter Recipe

You might have thought of what to prepare for the Holidays. Enjoy this receipt of Torrijas from Spain which can be easily prepared at home.

Torrijas

Ingredients: Dry bread, 2 eggs, milk, sugar, olive oil, cinnamon

Method:

  1. Cut the bread into slices
  2. Pour the milk in a plate with a bit of cinnamon
  3. Beat the eggs in another plate
  4. Warm the oil in a pan
  5. Dip the slices in milk, when it’s wet enough, move to the bowl of eggs
  6. Cover the slices with eggs and fry the bread in the pan, flip them halfway so that both sides are properly fried
  7. Whilst frying the torrijas, add sugar and cinnamon to the pan so that the slices are covered by caramelised sugar
  8. Take out the torrijas from the pan and put them in the sugar plate

Enjoy! 😊 Happy Easter
