Feast on this: How families are making Easter dinner special

It's tempting to ignore Easter this year, given its potential to be a sad day. We won't be spending it with the people we usually gather around our tables in celebration, whether extended family or groups of friends. The legs of spring lamb that are traditional may be too large for our immediate households; with everyone so conscious of food waste it's not the year to splash out without a firm plan as to what to do with the leftovers. A rack of lamb tastes just as good and is perfect split between two.
