How to use it

Open each dish of the table, set the number of guests in the servings counter and add it to the shopping list: the products merge into one list in whole packs. The quiz has an Easter event: it builds a table of kulich, paskha, eggs, salads and a main for your number of guests. The "Build a week from the collection" button puts the dishes across Bright Week, including the ones for the leftover eggs.

The order: on Thursday dye the eggs and press the paskha, on Saturday bake the kulich and roast the buzhenina, on Sunday morning assemble the salads and put in the main. Yeast dough for kulich likes warmth and three hours; the quick no-yeast kulich is ready in an hour. Paskha needs a night under a weight, or it does not hold its shape.
