Easter is quickly approaching and, as an American, I love celebrating holidays to the full extent. Where I lived, we never had these huge eggs that seem present everywhere in England – so I was interested in them. When I first got one, I was very surprised it was just a hollow egg, which made me want to fill it with something. This year, we got the chance to fill them all with different flavors and items! It was a really fun idea and you can fill yours with anything you want too to make your own Easter Egg Dessert.

We did, at first, try to temper chocolate and make our own eggs, but the molds we got weren’t the best, which caused some problems. In the end, we purchased some smaller eggs and cut them in half to fill them!

[Ad- gifted products] March 1st is Saint David’s day – a day celebrating the patron saint of Wales. This is a national festival where Saint David was recognized as a national patron saint at a peak time of Welsh resistance to the Normans. Some traditional festivities see people wearing daffodils and leeks, as well as recognizing symbols of Wales and Saint David respectively. Eating traditional Welsh food like cawl and Welsh rarebit and wearing traditional Welsh dress. More and more cities are putting on parades to celebrate the day.

Though we are not Welsh, we both quite like cerebrating traditions and learning more about other cultures, so when The British Leeks Growers’ Association reached out with some information on the event and a few beautiful recipes, we felt it would be perfect to fit into One Recipe a Week, where we take a look at a new recipe each and every week to share it with you. There were a bunch of recipes to choose from, all by Lucy Parker. We chose the Tangy leek and corn fritters with lime mayo.

[Ad- gifted product] Pancake Day is a strange holiday in the United Kingdom, for it everyone seems to eat Pancakes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This day is meant to be Shrove Tuesday, which is preceding Ash Wednesday, but no one I know seems to talk about the religious routes and instead shares great pictures of the pancakes they’ve made. We wanted to do something a little different, so we jumped on the Instagram trend of Pancake Boards or Pancake Charcuterie boards.

Dann has a lot of Mexican cook books dotted around, including Death by Burrito. Death by Burrito is an interesting cookbook as it was written by a co-owner of a restaurant in Shoreditch who had never actually ran a restaurant or cooked professionally. After travelling to Mexico and California, they made up a menu for their restaurant and eventually made this book of all of the stuff that they cook there.

Death by Burrito isn’t the best cookbook – it’s actually one of the more confusing books we actually own. Midway through recipes, it instructs you to go to different pages and make something else, which is pretty challenging when trying to time out food or follow the recipe. Flipping back and forth becomes a constant while cooking, as you try to make little side dishes that go inside the dish you are creating or typing. It’s really great that the book has recipes for salsa verde and different rices, but having the person cooking flip between pages is really a challenge. With that in mind, we are sharing just the recipe for Chicken Enchiladas, not the Chipotle Rice or the Salsa Verde which can be in it.
