Happy Mother's Day!

Plus, I discuss all things Chocolate Chip Cookies on the King Arthur Baking podcast!

Mother’s Day Desserts

The perfect Mother’s Day dessert is whatever your mom loves. For me, the perfect dessert has meringue, but there is no right or wrong answer when choosing, as long as mom loves it. My list of 11 Mother’s Day Desserts celebrate the spring season with berries, rhubarb and bright, seasonal treats. Choose one from the list, or head to my website to search for other favorites.

Paid “Extras” subscribers got a perfect recipe for Mother’s Day last weekend when I sent out my Lemon-Blueberry Spoon Cake. Last year’s Strawberry Crepe Cake and Cheesecake with Buttercream Roses are also great options.

This Mother’s Day my mom and I celebrate by traveling through Southern Italy together. A dream come true for us. Via Rosa curated the food, art and cultural trip through Sicily I’d always fantasized about and then went BEYOND. The group who joined me, including my mom, made the whole experience even more joyful and memorable. I am still in Italy and will begin my second Via Rosa tour through Puglia tomorrow. Stay tuned for all the details of both trips, which I will share in my “Extras” newsletter. I have so much more to discover throughout Italy and I hope you will join me for a future trip. Maybe with your mom! xo

My trip to Paris with Stephanie March in November is full but I’m already planning another, so stay tuned for that as well!
