Rather than presenting Mum with another last-minute gift this Mother’s Day, why not impress her with your kitchen skills instead? These dainty recipes add up to a perfect afternoon tea, whether she likes chocolate madeleines, delicate caviar sandwiches or pastel-coloured macarons. You could even package up her favourite sweet treat and present it to her as a gift at the end. Now that’s thoughtful.
