Easter is all about being grateful and spending time with friends and family around the
\ndinner table. Ruimsig\u2019s Alice Pretorius of Alice Art Gallery shares how to break away from the bunnies and pastel colours in Easter table decor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alice\u2019s gorg Easter table was inspired by the book Food at the Time of the Bible by Miriam Deinberg Vamosh.<\/p>\n

She shares her tips for a non-pastel and bunny-free Easter table:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Since we are straying from the normal pastel theme for Easter, we are going dramatic, so you can either go minimal or over the top with the table decor. Don\u2019t be afraid to mix and match colours and patterns. Use what you have!
\n\u2022 Instead of serving the typical chocolate bunnies and hot cross buns, go traditional and serve unleavened bread, lamb, hard-boiled eggs and spiced wine with fresh pomegranates, olives, grapes, figs and dates \u2013 it\u2019s yummy and healthy.
\n\u2022 If you have a long table with one big centrepiece, add two or four smaller centrepieces, depending on the length of the table.
\n\u2022 Candle-lit dinners will never go out of style, but instead of spreading the candles all over the table, bundle them up at the end of the table for a dramatic effect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Incorporate the food into the centrepieces by using fruit and leaves from your garden. If you want to bring in a religious aspect to your table decor, you can add a ram\u2019s horn.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Spiced wine recipe:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong>
\n125ml white wine, 1 cinnamon stick, 180ml honey, 2 dates, 1 bay leaf and another 1,8l white wine.<\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong>
\nHeat 125ml white wine with the honey until dissolved. Remove from heat and add bay leaf,
\ncinnamon and chopped dates. Add remaining wine and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
\nBefore serving, remove bay leaf and cinnamon. Can be served hot or at room temperature.<\/p>\n
