Don’t worry; there’s still time to nab a great gift for mom — even if it’s Sunday, just before brunch.
The Cooks Without Borders Cookshop has lots of things she’d love, and that Amazon may still be able to get to your door in time. CWB Gift Premium Memberships can be hers at the push of a button (they’re on sale!). And we’ve got a zillion delicious things you could cook for her.
Buy mom a cookbook
Consider a great new cookbook — like Roxana Jullapat’s Mother Grains. Jullapat, baker and co-owner of Friends & Family in Los Angeles, shows us deliciously how to make whole grains a delicious part of baking. In the pages of her fabulous book, you’ll find spectacular recipes using ancient grains, heritage grains and artisan grains, including a few we’ve fallen hard for. We’re working on a review (to be published soon!), but we can tell you that it’ll be a rave. And you can make a batch of Jullapat’s Spelt Blueberry Muffins — topped with spelt streusel — to serve on Mother’s Day when you hand her the gift book.
Cookware that goes stylishly to the table
Or how about a Dansk Kobenstyle casserole? Dansk is enjoying a serious moment of chic — so much that the lifesytle website Food52 just bought the whole company. It’s available in delicious colors (for some reason they’re all priced differently). You can get a lovely 2-quart yellow one real quick for $92.
Give the gift of CWB Premium Membership
It’s late, and we feel you! That’s why we’ve put Gift Premium Membership to Cooks Without Borders on sale through this weekend. Save 25% and mom will enjoy a year of monthly HotPot e-magazine, weekly HotLinks what-to-cook-now newsletters, admission for herself and three friends to monthly live Culture-Dive Q & A events with fascinating people in the food world (on May 27 we’re hosting Roxana Jullapat and David Kaisel, owner of Capay Mills), monthly Simmer Sessions, a downloadable copy of our e-cookbook and more. Perks are outlined here.
Find more at the CWB Cookshop
None of these sound quite right? Take a quick spin through our Cookshop — you’re sure to find something there your mother will love. For instance, the red Thermapen you see is on sale for 25% off as well — as are all Thermapen products if you enter the Thermapen shot through a link on Cooks Without Borders.
Make mom something delicious
Maybe a quiche Lorraine? Our version is quintessential.
