Holy day treats

RECENTLY I’ve had several requests from readers of this column who are deep in preparation for their children’s Holy Communion or Confirmation Day.

Could I please suggest some delicious easy recipes that can be prepared ahead and easily reheated on the special day? It must be a combination of treats that will tempt and be relished by all ages, in one case four generations!

No problem, there are lots of options. Soup, and or a simple pâte, are a really good basis. It’s probably best to choose comforting favourites like tomato and basil or a slightly chunky mushroom soup.
