Apr. 18, 2025
lamb confit
At Kokko, we're celebrating spring around the fire, with a nice piece of lamb with kamado, seasonal vegetables, and lots of good cheer in the air. Did you know that the tradition of the Easter egg dates back to antiquity? Among the Persians and Egyptians, the egg symbolized rebirth and life. So today, between chocolates, BBQs and good times, we're perpetuating the spirit... in our own way!
