While mums need to be appreciated all year long, the annual earmarking of a special Mother’s Day gives us an extra chance to indulge them. With this in mind, our latest issue is dedicated to celebrating mums. I’m sure any mum would agree that one of the nicest treats possible is to have someone cook for her. It could be breakfast in bed, perhaps using the recipes below, or maybe a sweet treat for afternoon tea or dessert. It doesn’t have to be elaborate or for any special reason, just as long as it’s made with love. Our latest issue features some of my favourite baking ideas, from big celebration cakes to simpler afternoon tea bakes and heartwarming desserts. I can recommend all of these creations as a sweet and thoughtful way to say thank you to the important and nurturing women in your life. This Sunday, I’ll be making my Toffee Apple Cake from this issue to share with my mum as a small but heartfelt token of my thanks to her for a lifetime of love, inspiration and great food.

It’s the finishing touch of a salsa, relish or spice blend that will make an average dish spectacular. She encourages home cooks to focus on having prepared condiments on standby so that exciting meals can flow from there. Each chapter features a hero condiment – from pastes like harissa and tapenade, to herbal dressings, savoury sauces and sweet jams – paired with a bunch of foolproof dishes. This innovative approach to home cooking will help solve dinner dilemmas and plate up memorable meals every night of the week.
