Looking to stray from the traditional roast dinner and experiment with an alternative Easter menu? Ravinder Bhogal, master of the art of blending cuisines and flavours from different cultures, has created a sublime, cosmopolitan spread fit for the most special Easter weekend gathering.

In 2007 Ravinder made the unusual leap from journalism to a career in food, and in 2016 opened her much-loved restaurant Jikoni in London’s Marylebone. It serves food inspired by Ravinder’s background (born in Kenya to Indian parents) and also celebrates the cookery of the UK’s diverse immigrant cultures.

Her celebration menu includes a classy one-pot chicken main, make-ahead dessert (with an inspired secret ingredient) and easy but elegant nibble that is a step up from a bag of crisps… These dishes are perfect for an Easter weekend feast – or any early spring gathering.
