Food for a large or small gathering including a great fish pie for Good Friday and roast lamb for Sunday lunch.

Simnel Cake
This traditional and delicious cake is fun for all the family to make.

Pancakes
Thin and crispy or fat and moist, the choice is up to you when you make your own classic pancakes. You can make the mixture the night before and enjoy a very easy breakfast with the added fun of everyone tossing their own.

Hot Cross Buns
You can make the dough in a bread machine - fast and easy - or by hand with quick-rising yeast. Home-made buns don't look as perfect as the ones in the shops but they taste 1,000 times better!

Orange and Rhubarb Crumble
This rich and oaty crumble is scrumptious topped with the sharp rawness of a dollop of creme fraiche.

Using Up Excess Easter Eggs
Last year, a friend's twins were given 17 Easter eggs each while her older daughter got a comparatively modest 12 - which meant they had 46 chocolate eggs around the house. Here's some ideas to deplete the egg glut: make huge batches of Extra-Chocolatey Easter Muffins (just double/triple the chocolate in a muffin recipe), and donate the muffins as after-school treats to all your children's delighted friends.

Lemon Potatoes
Delicious with any roast meat, but especially with Slow Roast Lamb.

Easter Sunday Lunch
This is the most stress-free 'big' meal of the year, so invite as many friends and family as you can fit round the table. Our ideal meal would be leg of lamb cooked very slowly to bring out the flavour, with lemon potatoes and roast parsnips. For greens, spinach and Savoy cabbage are at their seasonal best.

Fantastic Fish Pie
A family favourite (as long as you get all the bones out!), this can be prepared ahead of time and frozen if you have people coming.
