Mums – where would we be without them? They nourished us our entire lives, and on Mother’s Day we have the chance to spoil them rotten in return. And what better way to send a whole lotta love to the special mums in your life than through their stomach?
Thankfully, our favourite Mother’s Day recipes say ‘I love you’ better than words ever could. From a steaming bowl of fresh porridge for a leisurely breakfast-in-bed to a decadent beef and mushroom pie dished up over candlelight, our delicious Mother’s Day recipes are the treat that Mum deserves.
Porridge with fresh berries
A delicious bowl of freshly-made porridge – it’s one of life’s simple pleasures and a recipe guaranteed to nurture Mums of all stripes. Our gently-steamed version cooks in just 8 minutes, leaving plenty of time to decorate with Mum’s favourite toppings. Fresh berries and a generous drizzle of leatherwood honey are hard to go past, though fresh dates with a sprinkling of coconut sugar is a delicious and unusual alternative.

Individual beef and mushroom pies
The ultimate Aussie comfort food, the beef and mushroom pie is the perfect Mother’s Day recipe for the change of season. Tender beef strips and swiss brown mushrooms infuse with a hearty mixture of herb-spiked beer and sour cream, while the oozy potato crust kicks the flavour profile into overdrive with lashings of smoked cheddar cheese. Bust out the Le Creuset mini casserole dishes for restaurant-worthy presentation – a touch Mum is sure to appreciate.

Steamed pear with chocolate sauce
This delicious Mother’s Day recipe takes advantage of autumn’s bountiful pear harvest. Steaming pears (Beurre Bosc or Williams work best) in a saffron-spiced white wine syrup gives them a gorgeous golden colour, while cardamom pods and vanilla bean add to the depth of flavour. A drizzling of dark chocolate sauce tops it off perfectly.
