Mother's Day Menus

  • Mother's Day Brunch

    Surprise Mom on her special day with a brunch that takes advantage of fresh spring produce. Start on a festive note with sparkling bellinis made with  raspberries, then serve her a frittata full of fresh herbs and seasonal leeks. Or skip the frittata entirely and go straight to the fluffy waffles piled high with whipped cream and ripe red strawberries.  

  • Mother's Day Dinner

    Although breakfast in bed is the meal most associated with Mother’s Day, why not celebrate Mom all day long, wrapping things up with a light and fresh but satisfying dinner that takes advantage of seasonal fruits and vegetables? Crostini topped with ricotta and puree of sweet spring peas makes a colorful start to the meal. And salmon served with a quinoa and a parsley vinaigrette is a simple yet festive option. Finish on a sweet note with a silky panna cotta served with a brightly flavored sweet-tart rhubarb compote.

  • Mother's Day Lunch

    Let Mom sleep in while you cook, then treat her to a leisurely lunch on her special day. A salad garnished with fresh flowers will give the table a festive look, while a frittata as a main course is both easy to assemble and bursting with fresh spring produce. For the grand finale, serve her a pound cake that gets its rich, toasty flavor from plenty of browned butter, and its brightness from a compote made of seasonal fruit.

  • Garden Party for Mother's Day

    A brunch that you've cooked yourself is a lovely way to honor Mom on her special day. This simple menu, perfect for a casual gathering, includes a decadent French toast made with lemon curd and topped with a compote made from the first strawberries of the season. Apple and sausage patties add a savory note to the meal, and meringue cookies sandwiching chocolate ganache make a perfectly sweet ending to the meal.
