While lamb, hot cross buns, pickled fish and loads of chocolate eggs often feature, there is plenty of room to play, adapt and create a menu that suits the season and your style of entertaining. Add to that mild autumn weather and Easter becomes one of the most enjoyable times of the year to host.<\/p>\n<p>Food writer, cooking-class host and local chef,\u00a0Yolandi North\u00a0(who trained at the\u00a0Prue Leith Culinary Institute) is inviting home cooks to do just that with her\u00a0Easter Feast Demo Cooking Class, taking place in\u00a0Parktown North\u00a0later this month.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to help hosts plan a beautiful, seasonal Easter menu without stress, the class focuses on Easter-inspired dishes, make-ahead elements, seasonal flavours and practical tips for relaxed entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>The 3.5-hour demo-style class is ideal for anyone who loves cooking for others but wants to feel more inspired and confident when hosting. Attendees will watch, learn, taste and leave with inspiration and recipes that they can recreate at home.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Easter Feast Demo Cooking Class\u00a0will be presented by Yolandi North on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wednesday, 25 March (10:00 \u2013 13:30)<\/li>\n<li>Thursday, 26 March (18:00 \u2013 21:30)<\/li>\n<li>Friday, 27 March (18:00 \u2013 21:30)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The class costs R950 per person and takes place in Parktown North.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEaster is about slowing down, cooking food that feels generous and gathering people around the table,\u201d says North.<\/p>\n<p>Booking details and further information are available at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:Yolandi.north@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yolandi.north@gmail.com<\/a>, 082 677 8434 or visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/yolandinorth.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">yolandinorth.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compared to the mad rush and pressure of Christmas, Easter offers a welcome pause.
