Serving breakfast in bed has become a Mother’s Day cliché, but as fervent foodies we think that since it’s the most important meal of the day — or so our mother’s have told us many times — breakfast deserves a second chance to prove itself as a go-to gift for mom.

For some fresh new takes on classic breakfast fare, we’ve turned to professional chefs and Firefly cookbook authors including Nicole Pisani, former head chef for Yotam Ottolenghi’s Nopi restaurant, and Christina Mouratoglou and Adrien Carré, the geniuses behind Mazi in London.

Whether the mom in your life prefers something savoury or sweet for breakfast, these delicious recipes inspired by Moroccan, Greek, and Welsh cuisine are sure to show her that you put in the extra effort this year — just like she does for your family everyday.

Bon appétit, maman!

It’s that time of year again when we celebrate the incredible folks who brought us into this world: our mothers.

Where would we be without the women who raised us, cleaned up after us, fed us, taught us how to fly… Wait, we’re thinking of the animal mothers in our book of the month I Love You Mom by Liz Temperley.

I Love You Mom is an ode to the mothers of the animal kingdom featuring 45 wild animal moms and their babies illustrated in Temperley’s unique style.

From bottlenose dolphins to bald eagles, learn about the ways animal mothers care for their young in this charming little book, a great gift for Mother’s Day.

Where would you be without your mother? Well, you quite literally would not exist, so maybe you should say thanks with a really good gift this year instead of another Starbucks gift card.

You can probably guess what we recommend, and it’s not coffee. Although it does pair well with a hot cup of joe…

It’s books, of course!

Books make the best gifts, and whether your mom is more of a foodie or a photographer (or a hippie or a horticulturalist or what have you), we have plenty of ideas for every type of mother.
