Around the World: Traditional Easter Recipes

For traditional family feasts, consider the cooking trinity: Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. This year, Easter falls on March 23, unusually early. How early? Well, Easter hasn't been this early since 1913 and it won't be again until the year 2228. (What? How do we even say that year?) March 22 is the very earliest day on which Easter can fall, the last time in 1818 and not again until 2285. So many dates got your head spinning? Mine too. Just know this: this is the year -- and more to the point, the week -- to treat ourselves and our families to traditional Easter dishes, breads, desserts, and more. We've got between now and Easter Sunday, so there's plenty of time to experiment with recipes from all across the globe.
