How to Show Your Mom You Care Through Acts of Love in the Kitchen

Since moms make us meals as a way to show love, it makes sense for you to return the favor on Mother’s Day this year. Use the day—May 12—as a chance to channel your inner Julia Child and prepare your mom a really delicious meal from the heart. She works hard, and her job as a mom can be thankless sometimes. A special lady deserves a special day, so get to cooking with the following ideas.

Make Her Breakfast

The quintessential Mother’s Day breakfast or brunch usually includes eggs benedict of some sort. If you really want to impress your mom with a perfectly poached egg atop an English muffin that’s then bathed in buttery hollandaise sauce, you’ll have to look for a friendly recipe unless you’re already an “eggs benny” pro. You can find tips online for how to easily poach eggs in a simmering water bath as well as foolproof hollandaise sauce recipes.

For an added touch, or if you think she’d prefer something sweet instead, you could bake her some delicious lemon blueberry scones or rum cinnamon sugar mini muffins in premium bakeware you purchase just for this occasion. If your mom doesn’t have a Le Creuset piece or set, she definitely needs one for Mother’s Day. In fact, any high-quality bakeware sets are sure to make her happy in the kitchen. Go online or get out your favorite cookbook for more breakfast recipe ideas for Mother’s Day.

 Cook Her a Nice Dinner

You can easily impress your mom without having to spend hours in the kitchen preparing a four-course meal. All you need is an ideal slow cooker to do the hard work for you during the day. Not all slow cookers are the same, so choose one that’s fully programmable and allows you to cook refined meals thanks to non-stick coating, such as an All Clad slow cooker with a cast aluminum insert.

If she enjoys comfort food, you could make a shepherd’s pie, which is simple with a slow cooker. Shepherd’s pie was traditionally made with lamb or mutton but is typically made with ground beef today. You could also tempt her taste buds with a brown sugar and boneless spiral ham, especially if that’s a dish she used to make for your Sunday or holiday dinners at home. Or how about chicken and dumplings or a savory stew? The possibilities are endless with a slow cooker, which is probably why so many homes in the U.S. have one. 

 Take Her on a Picnic

If you think it would be more fun to leave the house for the day, surprise your mom with a charming picnic for Mother’s Day. The food love originates in the kitchen and culminates on a blanket in the park. You can keep it low-key but thoughtful in your presentation. A nice baguette sandwich with a simple mixed green salad and fresh fruit is a classic spread. Don’t forget the cold iced tea (or mom’s favorite beverage) and a pretty bouquet of flowers.

Whatever you decide to do with your mom on her day, she’ll enjoy it because it’s time spent with you. You don’t need to overthink what she would like to get as a present or worry about the right words to say. Just make her a thoughtful meal from the heart and she’ll know how much you care.

There is no shortage of kitchen equipment, accessories, cookware, tools, and appliances one could make great use of in a kitchen. But with so much out there, it can be tough to determine what will be legitimately useful in your kitchen and what’s more likely to just gather dust in a corner. To help, here are a few highly useful pieces of kitchen equipment that professional, amateur, and at-home chefs tend to regularly use in their kitchens. If you don’t have them already, you might want to give them a try. Copper Cookware Set There is something about a copper cookware set that simply improves a kitchen. Leaving their amazing functionality aside, copper pots and pans are gorgeous. They have a kind of timeless class that guarantees they fit any decor, looking just as at home hanging above the stove in a rustic French cottage as they do in the modern, bustling kitchens of the finest French restaurants in the world. The reason a copper pots and pans set can often be

The History of Knives in the Kitchen

Image
Knives have a long history in the kitchen and were one of the first true utensils to appear at mealtimes. Predating both forks and spoons, knives started as simple rocks, eventually turning into the chef knives we know today. Prehistory Knives originally date to prehistory, where stones were smashed together to form a sharp edge—a far cry from the modern blades, like Messermeister or Wusthof knives . Sharp rock fragments turned up in Tanzania and Kenya, dating back about 2.5 million years ago. Later, instead of rock-on-rock, a bone instrument was used to chip away at rocks to make axes and cleavers, as well as serrated edges. Copper and the Bronze Age Early metalworking involved bronze, an alloy of copper and tin. It was used not only to create kitchen knives but also weaponry as well. These copper and bronze knives were the first genuine knives. With the mass use of copper for bronze weapons, the metal became scarce enough to require an alternative. The Iron

To ensure that your dinner party, whether formal or casual, goes off without a hitch, make sure you have the kitchen gear you need to properly execute dinner party prep work. The following is a selection of some of the culinary equipment that can help. A Zwilling Smart Ridge Chef’s Knife For chefs, their knives are as close to sacred as anything in the kitchen can be. They are the most important tool for pre-cooking prep work and are treated with the reverence their importance earns them. The most important of these knives are the chef knives (not to be confused with the chef’s knives collectively). A chef’s knife is generally 8-10 inches long and is used for most of the preparatory cutting, ch
