6th Mar 2018 Recipes
Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity for all children, no matter how old they are, to thank their mothers. Here are some foodie ideas for children of all ages to cook for Mum!
Rhubarb and Ginger Gin
We start with something that’s definitely for grown-ups only. Homemade gin infusions are easier than you might think, and yield delicious tailor-made results. Here’s a great starting point that’s perfect for early Spring rhubarb. It’s not going to work as a last-minute recipe, though, as it takes a few weeks for the flavours to develop.

These Oreo-based truffles are a straightforward chocolatey treat that’s easy to make. You can easily get the children involved, but best to have a grown up to help for the final stage of coating each truffle in melted chocolate.

Eggs Benedict
If we’re able to get some fatherly input, and both parent and child are happy with a slightly more complicated recipe, then the brunch classic of Eggs Benedict is sure to be well received. They’re definitely too tricky for me to consider on an everyday basis, but for the very occasional treat, there are very few dishes that feel more luxurious.

Peanut Butter Blondies
Blondies are a fudgey, sweet non-chocolatey version of a brownie. Sweet and rich with butter, they’re an absolute treat that's easy to make. These have the option of a chocolate frosting, but you can leave it off for an easier time baking with a result that’s just as delicious.

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Truffles
Another truffle recipe! As the easiest to make type of home-made chocolate, it’s unsurprising in a collection like this, but I can’t see it being a big problem. These dark chocolate sea-salt truffles sound very grown-up, decidedly decadent and undoubtedly delicious.
