Easter and Easter Monday at home because of the Coronavirus health emergency? Here are RG Mania's recommended products for cooking Easter doves, Easter eggs and other Easter treats at home.

Easter and Easter Monday at home? Here's the silver lining

Restrictions caused by the new Coronavirus have officially been extended, so that Easter and Easter Monday will also be celebrated at home, causing people to skip the traditional Easter lunch (and in some parts of Italy even Easter breakfast) on the premises or at relatives', and the classic Easter Monday barbecue or outing on Easter Monday.

The health emergency situation and the state of quarantine, however stressful and psychologically difficult, should not undermine the desire to celebrate Easter and Easter Monday; rather, they can be an opportunity to spend different holidays at the quintessential time of conviviality, that is, around a set table. Cooking a good meal can in fact help give a semblance of normalcy during such a strange and peculiar time, without giving in to despondency and melancholy.
