Mother’s Day

Celebrate Mom with recipes as special as she is. Whether you’re planning breakfast in bed, a leisurely brunch, or an elegant dinner, we’ve got dishes that deliver.

Start sweet with my sweet-tart lemon drizzle cake or classic pain perdu ~ French toast with raspberries. For brunch, try the asparagus, egg, and cheese strata or the cherry tomato, asparagus, and ricotta tart.

For dinner, French roast chicken ~ poulet rôti hits all the right notes. And don’t miss the rich and airy flourless chocolate cloud cake, or, better yet, my chocolate cake with caramel frosting. Divine!
