ROAST by The Loveable Rogue

Take the stress out of Easter Sunday with this ultimate roast dinner kit from The Loveable Rogue. Choose from either chicken or beef and enjoy all the trimmings alongside it. Start the meal as you might were you able to dine out, with caramelised cauliflower and apple veloute, with curry oil and fresh apple adding a sweet and tangy crunch to the dish. For mains, enjoy Speyside beef – sirloin cut with red wine gravy – or roast chicken with garlic butter and chicken sauce.

Of course a roast isn’t complete without all the sides and The Loveable Rogue does not skimp out: devour cauliflower cheese with a cheddar cheese and herb crumb; rosemary and garlic roast potatoes; honey-glazed root vegetables; vegetable écrasé (mashed vegetables) including celeriac, carrot, chives and carrot crumb – and there’s even DIY Yorkshire puddings. Please note: make sure you have a muffin tin to pour the batter into for these yorkies. No meal is complete without a sweet treat to finish and the pear and vanilla custard trifle with almond crumb is the perfect finisher as it’s just the right size and level of sweet.

Cocktail Porter Easter Espresso Martini Kit

Cocktail Porter has long been a favourite of ours, with their fun twists on traditional drinks. New for Easter is the brand’s Lindt chocolate bunny espresso martini kits – available for nationwide delivery. How this works is you bite the head off the bunny and then shake and pour Ketel One Vodka, Cocktail Porter sugar syrup, Kuka cold brew coffee and Conker liqueur inside the chocolate vessel. We’ll get these for Easter weekend and then continue them for a casual Thursday night tipple, we think.

One kit makes six cocktails – £40
