    Make them a meal for Mother’s Day

    Getting to spend time with our favourite people is harder than usual right now, but it's still possible to put a smile on their face! With all of the practise we had baking banana bread during lockdowns, we have a new confidence in the kitchen that we're turning into treats for our special someones this Mother’s Day. Join us in a delicious homemade Mother's Day with our ideas below to help inspire you, whether you're limited to a delicious doorstop drop-offs or can provide a full home café experience.

    Breakfast her way

    If they love pancakes stacked high, warm buttered croissants or even a generous slice of cake with a cup of coffee, a special breakfast is the perfect way to set the tone for a day of treats. Making everything yourself is a real labour of love, and can be relaxing if you enjoy that sort of thing, but the last year has had enough unnecessary pressures, so if you’re not confident in the kitchen, you can pop to the shop to get something indulgent in. If you live with your Mother’s Day muse, you could treat her to a nice lie-in and bring her breakfast in bed or lay the table ready to surprise her when she’s ready to get up. Use her favourite mug or surprise her with a new one filled with her hot drink of choice, and maybe even add a splash of something sparkling to her orange juice for a change.

    Bake up a storm

    If you or the wonderful lady you’re spoiling loves to bake, you could turn it into a joint activity with a side of bonding time. Pick up the ingredients for her favourite sweet or savoury treat in advance, get your recipe lined up and spend the day baking and enjoying your creation together. If you don’t live with each other and aren’t in a support bubble with her, baking can still make the perfect present. Whether they love to bake or just love to receive delicious gifts, you can pop all the ingredients or pre-made goodies into a hamper and do a door step drop-off or send a treat in the post.

    Flipped for perfection

    Who doesn’t love a plate of pancakes? Hopefully you got some practice in on Pancake Day, so now you can flip with the best of them and really impress your Mother’s Day audience. They’re fantastically versatile - not to mention easy to make - so if they have a sweet tooth, savoury leanings or like the best of both worlds, it’s the perfect option for an out-of-the-ordinary meal. You can’t go wrong with lemon and sugar but as it’s a special occasion, try making it extra special with raspberries and white chocolate or a pancake topped with a fried egg and bacon.

    Your meal is served

    Quality time is definitely one of the best gifts you can give, but if you want to treat her to something she can keep, set the table for Mother’s Day with some new lovely dinnerware. It’ll be a big surprise she’ll be able to enjoy every day from then on, along with the memory of its first outing. If you can’t spend the time together, you could send the spirit of togetherness and treats with a hamper of goodies instead.
