“Ring the Church Bells, Bake the perfect pie lay the delicious palate… Celebrate the festival with a delicious Vegan Delight.”
For Christians, Easter is celebrated just like Christmas. The day begins with the visit to the church and ends with a lovely family get-together.
While most of us would associate Easter with eggs, we believe that food is an individualistic choice and, a delicious vegan recipe can make your Easter menu interesting and healthy. Unlike the typical Easter dishes, here is a rich vegan dish – designed especially for Easter.
