EASTER feasting

GREEK EASTER SPREAD

SERVES 8

Greek hospitality is legendry and everyone is invited. While this spread might at first sound wintery with the lamb as its centrepiece, it can be enjoyed all year round. In winter, gather indoors at the table. In spring or summer, find comfort from the midday heat under the shade of a tree and serve the feast at room temperature with plenty of cooling drinks. Round out this grazing board with fresh fruit.
