Make them pretty by piling the filling high and garnishing with piquillo pepper slices, hazelnuts, and capers. Deliver them to her while she reads her favourite book.

The simple presentation of these strawberry coconut cream pots hides sophisticated flavour. Ripe berries are macerated with a dash of sherry vinegar, maple syrup, mint, black pepper, and a hint of salt which helps to bring out the flavours. They’re then combined with coconut cream before being layered over a nutty buckwheat and almond base. Sealed up in Mason jars, they’re a cinch to pack and serve.
This refreshing cooler has layers of delicate flavour and just a hint of sweetness. An infusion of basil, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and turmeric is combined with gently steeped green tea. Make this well in advance to allow time to chill the drink prior to the picnic. Keep it cold in an insulated container or cooler.
This hearty salad has the soul of a stir-fry with flavours of garlic, soy, miso, ginger, and chilies. And it makes use of every part of the broccoli by including the flavourful stem. Edamame gives this fibre-rich salad a punch of protein. The best thing is that this slaw keeps well and gets richer in flavour as it’s stored in the fridge.
Mom is sure to love this sweet and sensational-looking dessert made with aquafaba meringue. The meringue’s crisp texture provides contrast with the fluffy whipped coconut cream, topped with mango purée and sweet mango chunks. Lime zest and mint bring everything together, while a dash of blue matcha makes the meringue’s interior a subtle surprise.
