Nami-Nami Easter Brunch 2010
Hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend, wherever and however you celebrated it! We hosted our traditional Easter Sunday Brunch yesterday, with 11 adults, 6 children and 3 toddlers around the table. Last year I tried to follow a green/yellow colour scheme. This year I simply chose dishes that made me think of spring :)
Here are the dishes from yesterday:
We started with Mimosas again:
Baby spinach with hot-smoked salmon, quail eggs, green beans and asparagus spears:
Quinoa salad with beets, fennel and basil
Savoury cheesecake with chives and goat's cheese:
Ottolenghi's cucumber salad with chilli and poppy seeds
Bean salad with lemon and parsley:
Estonian national fish, Baltic herring, with cherry tomatoes and herbs (recipe from an Estonian foodblogger Mari-Liis):
Home-made Estonian cheese with curd cheese, eggs and caraway seeds, served with dark rye bread:
Choux puffs with ricotta, mint and green pea filling (recipe from the latest issue of the French Regal magazine; the only dish that didn't rock and won't be repeated)
As for the sweet dishes, our friends Paavo & Kristiina brought along a delicious paskha:
I made a traditional British Simnel cake, topped with 11 chocolate eggs that we bought from the gorgeous Péclard café in Zürich last weekend:
And last, but not least, a delicious cake with coconut, lemon curd, elderflower cream and lemon balm leaves (recipe from the Swedish BAKA magazine):

how delicious brunch u had, and so springy! I really love this idea of annual easter brunch, maybe we'll start doing that too :)
Amazing!
I absolutely loved it!
Brunch = delicious food + bunch of nice people, lots of talking, joking, tasting, lounging and child-watching:)
Tere Pille,
toidud tunduvad vägagi isuäratavad! Kas neid retsepte on ka võimalik näha? :)
Hey, nice post.
I love Easter because it is the demonstration of God that life is
essentially spiritual and timeless.
Hope you had a Egg-ceptional, Eggs-traordinary Easter !!!

Nii, nii kena pühadelaud! :)

Such a unbelievable meal.
Nice pics as well.
Thank you for sharing.
Looks like vegetarians would have been very well catered for Pille! Looks like you had a wonderful brunch - I especially like your bunny-egg.
wow, your friends and family are definitely lucky people :D
The beans with lemon and parsley look delicious, but is there only an Estonian language recipe for it?
