It’s Mother’s Day on Sunday and we all need to say a big thank you to the amazing and inspiring women in our lives. And if you are thinking about what to get your Mum, here's an idea.
She doesn’t like flowers? Doesn’t want chocolate? Doesn’t need another frame with a family photo? Don’t worry, you got this. Why not try some form of flowery-food love.
Avocado flowers are quite the online trend at the moment, so why embrace it and give your artistic culinary skills a go. Here's a short how-to video to show you how it's done.
You can even lay that art down on toast – it’s an adult version of the drawings you used to do at school to take home for Mother’s Day and stick on the fridge.
If mum’s got more of a salty tooth why not get her a bunch of bacon, in a bouquet. Not Quite Nigella shows that the process is simple; roll rashers of bacon from the larger end to the smaller end and hold closed with a pin. Bake in the oven. De-flower plastic rose stems, and impale cooked bacon rose in the petal's place.
If your mum isn’t into meat and would prefer to get some flower-filled love from vegetables, you can make her a radish flower (watch Thailand's Mutita EdibleArt's YouTube video on how to carve one) or a carrot flower.
If flowers really aren’t your mum’s thing – even in food form - then how about carving hearts out of an apple.
And there's always breakfast in bed...
Maple, cardamom and almond granola
