Nami-Nami Easter brunch 2017

 Easter was on April 16th this year and of course we had friends over for our traditional Easter brunch on that day. Here's what we served :)

There was duck with pomegranate seeds and mint - a recipe from Nigella Lawson's book "Nigella Express" (2007; recipe in Estonian here). 



There was carrot and sunflower seed salad - a recipe from now-defunct blog "Our Four Forks", who had adapted it from "The Rose Bakery" cookbook (recipe in Estonian here):





I made a salad with sweet potato and feta cheese (recipe in Estonian here):



For our main dish this year, I baked a leg of lamb with rosemary and juniper berries, inspired by this BBC recipe:



I baked a large cottage cheese and Väasterbottensost cheese tart:


Our friend Liisa contributed this cheese quiche:


One of my staple crostini recipes for years now - and for years to come - is this little thing from Tesco UK - Brie and grape crostini. Goes beautifully with wine, by the way, and can bridge the savoury and sweet courses:


Of course, there was pashka - this time made by our friend Kristiina: 


Hope you all had a lovely Easter with your friends and family.

We've hosted an Easter brunch for friends annually since 2007 (I moved back home to Estonia and in with K. from Scotland in October 2006, so it's 'our thing'). I see I have a lot of catching up to do :)
