Festive Easter: recipes, tips and inspiration from my kitchen

Easter, is such a celebration that falls from the sky every year. Suddenly it's there: extended weekend, hopefully some sun, Grace & her cousins in the garden with a basket chasing after chocolate, and that feeling of: yessss, spring has truly begun now.

And then the question arises: What on earth are we going to prepare?

Something that can be made in advance, something that everyone likes, something with eggs, asparagus, chocolate… Luckily, I have plenty of tips, recipes, and hacks to make your Easter weekend easy and enjoyable.

If there is one moment to go all out with brunch or a buffet, it's now. Easter Monday is ideal for putting something festive on the table that doesn't require too much time in the kitchen.

And since the asparagus season has just started, the oven can be used a bit more often and quiches & cheesy dishes always score, I’m serving up a few of my favorite spring recipes just for you.

Everything to give your Easter menu that little extra – without stress.

A classic quiche? Always delicious. But at Easter, it can be a bit more special. Think of original combinations, surprising flavors, and a colorful filling that perfectly fits that cozy Easter table.

From spring vegetables to creamy cheeses and spicy accents – these quiches will provide a wow effect and a feast on your plate. Ideal for an Easter brunch with family or a relaxed spring lunch in the sun.

That basket with half-peeled eggs… recognizable, right? But good chocolate? That’s worth its weight in gold. Throwing it away is definitely not an option.
Here are my favorite hacks:

1. Melt them and pour over pancakes or waffles – instant festive feeling

2. Chop roughly and mix into granola – a surprising, crunchy topping

3. Stir them into chocolate mousse for a crunchy bite

4. Make a Easter rocky road with marshmallows, nuts, and Easter egg pieces.

5. That viral pistachio Dubai can also have an Easter egg! Or the viral Dubai Strawberry cup? Check the video below

Chocolate, that's always a good idea. But at Easter? It can definitely be a little more! Think of delicious combinations, surprising flavors, and a festive touch that perfectly fits that cheerful Easter atmosphere.

Whether you go for airy mousse, creamy cakes, or crispy cookies with a twist – these chocolate recipes bring pure indulgence to your Easter table. Ideal for a cozy brunch, a coffee moment in the sun, or as a sweet finale to your Easter celebration with friends and family.

Because let's be honest... Easter without chocolate? That just wouldn't be the same, right?

• Start calmly – set a beautiful table, light a candle, put on some music

• Go for a buffet – everyone takes what they want, as much as they want

• Mix warm & cold, sweet & savory – think quiche, salad, granola with yogurt, chocolate cake…

• Work with what the season provides – asparagus, young leeks, fresh herbs

• Ask everyone to bring something – that's how you truly celebrate together

So, those were my favorite ideas, recipes, and tips to make Easter something really delicious. Hopefully, you feel inspired to dive into the kitchen yourself. Whether you're setting up an Easter breakfast, planning a fancy lunch, or just getting creative with leftovers: every little effort makes a difference.

Together, we can create something warm and flavorful.

Happy Easter and big hugs,
