Mother’s Day recipes

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day in the UK, (it’s May 12 in the US, Australia, and New Zealand). A great way to honor the special women in your life is to make a special treat for them on this special occasion. Whether that means a full meal or a treat like pie or cake that you can deliver, your mom – or anyone who deserves recognition on this date – will appreciate your efforts.

If cooking or baking inspiration eludes you, head over to BBC Good Food to find a bevy of ideas on what to make for an elegant dinner or special dessert. You can find additional Mother’s Day recipe collections at delish (featuring everything from bacon wrapped prawns to homemade gnocchi), Olive Magazine (with ideas for entire menus plus 25 Mother’s Day cake ideas), and at Sainsbury Magazine (which boasts 99 recipes). For those of us who are celebrating in May, having these resources available now means there is no excuse for not preparing a special dish for the wonderful women who have made a difference in our lives.

Of course, we can’t forget to mention the EYB Library, which contains loads of recipes from the above sites, plus several recipes specifically tailored for Mother’s Day, including the Lemon bars for Mother’s Day from Food Wishes by John Mitzewich.
