Mother's Day Recipes

Here are some of my most favourite Mother’s Day Recipes. There’s no better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than gathering together. We’re bringing colour to the table with a South African inspired table-scape. On the food side, there’s Paloma Mimosa cocktails, savoury nibbles, meaty roasts and a butternut Bobotie that’ll have vegetarians and meat-eaters licking their lips.

    I love that a vegetarian bobotie can taste as good as the meat version. It’s especially good with a homemade mango chutney. Enjoy!

    Fruit and cake is hands down the best partners. Plus cognac, of course.
