This edition is focused on the latest, freshest and best produce

supplied from each of our retailers, guaranteed to make cooking and

entertaining this Easter a breeze.

If you are looking for further food inspiration this Easter, then come

along to the daily cooking demonstrations that will be held at

Pittwater Place from Monday 26th April to Thursday 29th April from

11am to 2pm every day.

If, after the cooking demonstrations you are feeling really inspired,

or if you just want something fun to do with the kids - you can follow

our delicious hot cross bun recipe on the back of this newsletter.

After all, nothing says ‘Easter’ more than delicious hot cross buns.

These raisin-studded delights are a well-known tradition for the

Easter holiday. They’ve been a staple part of communities during the

Easter season and even date back to ancient Greece.

gift card giveaways! Pittwater Place wants you to have the ‘Best Easter

Ever’, so throughout the Easter period they will randomly be surprising

shoppers with $50 gift cards. There are $3,000 in gift cards to be given

PITTWATER FINE QUALITY MEATS

With four long languid days over the

weekend to indulge in, champagne

brunches, long lunches and delicious dinner

parties are all great hosting options.

When thinking of Easter, usually what comes

to mind is confectionary, chocolate and hot

cross buns. These are a delicious and fun

tradition for any Easter party, especially for

those with kids or a sweet tooth. It can be

extra fun to involve the children with these

treats, from baking it yourself (see our hot

cross buns recipe on the back page) or set

up a good old fashioned Easter egg hunt.

But be careful - don’t fill up on sweets and

forget about the main course!

Fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, fresh fish or

fresh meat - regardless of your cooking

style or favourite dishes, making sure all

your ingredients are fresh and tasty is the

most important factor.

If you aren’t a huge fan of cooking, or

just want to kick back and relax, then

there’s always the option to eat out or

order catering instead. No matter what

you decide to do, make sure you grab

your Easter baskets and hop on down to

Pittwater Place to grab all your fresh food,

Easter treats and entertaining needs!

Cheese, fruit and crackers are all entertaining staples!

Buy your nibbles fresh at Harris Farm and whilst there,

look out for their seasonal fruit and vegetable specials.

Lamb is fast becoming a favourite

for many delicious Easter recipes.

Pittwater Fine Quality Meats have

free range Cowra Lamb Chops

available in-store. Great with

rosemary seasoning.

Easter - a great time of year to relax, unwind and enjoy quality time with family and friends. With things cooling off after a long, hot summer, it’s a perfect time for entertaining in Sydney.

A QUICK PICK-ME-UP

• 25g butter

• 225g plain flour

• 1 tsp salt

• 6g fast-action dry yeast

• 40g caster sugar

• 55g raisins

• 25g mixed peel

• 1 tsp mixed spice

• 150ml skim milk

Crosses

• 25g butter

• 55g plain flour

Glaze

• 2tbs sugar

• 1tbs milk

INGREDIENTS METHOD

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced).

2. Put the butter, sieved flour and salt into a large bowl and rub into a fine mixture that resembles breadcrumbs.

3. Stir in the yeast, sugar, raisins, peel and spice. Warm the milk until tepid, pour it into the bowl, and mix together into a soft dough.

4. Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead until elastic and no longer sticky. Shape into 8 buns and place them onto a greased baking sheet.

5. Cover them with lightly oiled cling film and leave in a warm place for around 45 minutes, until almost doubled in size.

6. To make the crosses: Blend the butter with the flour and 4 tablespoons of water. Remove the cling film from the buns and pipe the mixture across them.

7. Pop buns in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

8. To make the glaze: Gently warm the sugar and milk together. Brush it over the buns, and pop them back into the oven for another 2 minutes.

9. Leave them to cool on a plate or rack before serving.
