An Armenian-Style Easter

Today, Palm Sunday, marks The Armenian Kitchen’s 6th anniversary, and the beginning of Holy Week. It also means that we are preparing for Easter Sunday, and the all-important Easter meal.

We’ve shared recipes for chorag, roasted lamb, paklava, explained how to dye eggs naturally and the tradition of cracking Easter eggs to see who the ‘winner’ will be. We also included recipes showing how to use leftover Easter eggs and lamb, and still keep meals interesting.
