The Binny’s Tasting Panel picks their top wines for Easter

A spin on the traditional tortilla de patatas, embellished with onions, leeks. The addition of Serrano or Iberico makes it a perfect dish for Easter brunch.

This easy but magnificent roast leg of lamb recipe is the perfect main course for your Easter feast. The straightforward preparation is also the perfect opportunity for a great wine or beer pairing.

Cinnamon rolls are an irresistible sweat treat and the Demo Kitchen has a recipe for you to make them at home any time you want. Plus, easily turn them into Mini King Cakes with the addition of green, gold and purple candy sugar.

Eggs are virtually indispensable in kitchens the world over. Very few cuisines eschew the versatility of the humble egg and its myriad delights. Shakshuka is a popular dish in North Africa and the Middle East and has recently become a favorite at hip restaurants in the US.

This recipe was inspired, not just by Danish Kringle itself but the fantastic Bourbon Barrel Aged Pecan Kringle Stout from Wisconsin’s own Central Waters Brewing Company. It’s a massive brew of sweet, layered, spirited, complexity that speaks of praline, maple, vanilla, and sweet brown spices. Our Bourbon Pecan Kringle follows suit making for a heavenly if decadently over the top pairing.

We have been playing around with all kinds of tomato recipes, including the cheese and mayo laden southern classic, tomato pie. It’s great but today we decided to throw together a goat cheese and tomato tart with ingredients we had on hand and must say we are pretty pleased with what we pulled out of the oven. It’s almost like we know what we’re doing.

Bright, citrusy ceviche is the ultimate refreshing starter for a dinner party whether served in a bowl or as a tostada. It also makes a fantastic addition to any Cinco de Mayo buffet when served with crunchy tortilla chips.

Quiche is delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and always welcome at the brunch table. For this version we decided to combine shrimp, a stalwart of the brunch buffet, with the fresh spring flavors of asparagus and chives.
