2026 Spring Holidays -- Easter, Passover, and more

Happy Orthodox Easter to all who celebrate!

I was lucky to be included in my friend’s family’s celebration again. The main event is a spit-roasted whole lamb, plus plenty more homemade goodies.

Meal:
Tyropita, Spanakopita, Lemon & orange potatoes, Souffle (pasta bake like mac & cheese), Salad, Lamb, and Tzatziki. Also mini kababs that I brought as an app, but the lamb was done much earlier than last year, so they got added to the mains.

Dessert:
Ekmek (kataifi, custard, and whipped cream), ice cream cake, peach tart, Paximadia (biscotti), Koularakia (cookies), and the Orange cream cheese cake I made.

Lamb being carved:
