Mother's Day treats

Mother’s Day treats

Wondering what to get mum for Mother's Day this year? Pamper her with our Mother's Day recipes instead - they're perfect for high tea.

Rather than presenting Mum with another last-minute gift this Mother’s Day, why not impress her with your kitchen skills instead? These dainty recipes add up to a perfect afternoon tea, whether she likes chocolate madeleines, delicate caviar sandwiches or pastel-coloured macarons. You could even package up her favourite sweet treat and present it to her as a gift at the end. Now that’s thoughtful.
