Mother's Day Made Simple: Comfort, Celebration & Delicious Recipes 🌸
This Sunday, whether you're celebrating a mum, remembering one, or simply honouring the spirit of care and nourishment — I hope there's something warm on your table.
So many of us carry memories in recipes — handwritten cards, simmering pots, favourite dishes made just the way she did. Food is where love lands when words fall short.
If you’re cooking this weekend — for Mother’s Day or any special gathering — here are a few ideas from my kitchen to yours: from simple breakfasts to a hearty Sunday roast, and a few cosy favourites in between.
Charcuterie Breakfast Board: Bring a little bit of everything to the table – fresh fruits, cheeses, meats, and more. It’s a fun, customizable way to start the morning off right.
For a Cozy Start: Breakfast in Bed 🍓
Simple Scones: Fluffy and golden, these scones are the perfect way to start the day. Serve them with fresh jam or cream for a little extra sweetness.
Cinnamon Sugar Pancakes: Light, fluffy pancakes sprinkled with cinnamon sugar – who could resist?
Comfort in Every Bite: Soupy Goodness 🥣
Lentils and Dumplings: A hearty, warming dish that’s perfect for a Mother's Day lunch or dinner. You’ll love the cozy, comforting flavors that come together with minimal effort.
Pasta with Peas and Potatoes (Pasta con Piselli e Patate): Cozy, satisfying meal that’s truly easy to make. Inspired by rustic Italian cooking.
For the Light and Lovely: Fresh & Flavorful 🥗
Peaches & Prosciutto: Sweet, juicy peaches wrapped in salty prosciutto, drizzled with honey – it’s a match made in heaven.
Cucumber. Tomatoes and Feta Salad : This tomato, cucumber, and feta salad with capers is full of vibrant, fresh flavour. Quick to make, easy to serve, and even easier to love.
Main Dishes to Impress: Roasted Goodness 🍗
Roast Duck: Tender, juicy, and flavorful – a perfect centerpiece for your Mother’s Day table.
Lamb Rack: Tender and incredibly delicious! This lamb rack recipe is easier than you think, is pure comfort, satisfaction and doesn’t do too badly with impressing even the chef:)
For the side, appetiser, after, before … it really doesn’t matter, because this Crusty Homemade Bread for an olive oil dip is good anytime.
Whatever you decide to cook, remember that the most important ingredient is love. Enjoy your time together, and I hope these recipes help make this Mother’s Day extra special!
If you try any of these recipes, don’t forget to share your pictures with me. I’d love to see how you celebrate! 🥰
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there!❤️
