Mother’s Day Recipes
Breakfast in bed
There’s nothing quite like breakfast in bed to spoil mum this Mother’s Day and nothing quite as special as Eggs Royale. Serve with a dainty glass of bucks fizz and a rose.
Afternoon tea Cornish Saffron Buns
Embrace a Cornish twist on afternoon tea and bake these delicious saffron buns which exist somewhere between a scone and a hot cross bun. Gloriously vibrant in colour, they are beautiful in their simplicity, eaten fresh out of the oven with lashings of butter or a dollop of clotted cream.
Picnic lunch
Sometimes, late March can completely surprise us with bursts of spring sunshine. Water better way to celebrate mum than a walk in nature, bursting with spring flowers and an al fresco picnic hamper.
A guide here to having the perfect picnic. Personally, we think that Scotch eggs and sausage rolls should always feature - both are rather special when homemade and can easily be eaten with your hands!
Celebration of spring dinner
Screaming of spring, packed full of delicious green veg and oh so pretty, make this spring pie for an exceptional lunchtime treat.
Puddings full of love
Is there a more beautiful site than a cloudy pillowy plate of merriange, lovingly topped with clouds of softly whipped cream and colourful vibrant fruit.
We love this recipe from Gill Meller which screams of spring with sweet orange curd and tart pink rhubarb.
If you can’t get hold of rhubarb, another of her spring recipes that’s astonishingly good is the meringue with lemon curd, cream, hazelnuts, primroses and sorrel.
Sunday Roast
As we move into spring, lighter days and hopefully balmier weather, we like to refresh our roast dinners, making the most of more seasonal ingredients.
This lamb dish from probably our favourite ever chef, is a perfect example of using crisp spring ingredients top produce a zingy satisfying Sunday Roast.
