Deliver the Ultimate Easter Takeaway Creations
After the governments latest announcement, we have no doubt that summer menus are at the forefront of chefs minds. However, we must not forget about Easter on April 4th. According to the The Food People’s 2021 / 2022 trends report, the home delivery trend will not be disappearing any time soon. Although this revolution has been accelerated by the pandemic, the lift of lockdown is unlikely to effect this growing trend due to the ease and convenience of getting almost anything delivered!
With the help of our Development Chefs, we have collated a selection of mouth-watering, Easter recipes - all suited to home delivery using Essential Cuisine’s range of high quality, time saving stocks and sauce bases.

Cater for everyone whilst continuing to deliver the flavours of Spring with our Vegan Lamb Seitan Steaks.
