Mother’s Day is just around the corner and a luxurious, leisurely brunch is the ultimate way to spoil your mom.
Planning the perfect Mother’s Day brunch can take a lot of time and effort but it’s all worth it at the end.
If you don’t know where to start, we have asked Culinary Artist at Granny Mouse Country House & Spa, Theo Mannie to share with us some simple tips for planning the perfect Mother’s Day brunch.
SETTING
Decide between indoor or outdoor (picnic or plated) – this will be weather and wind dependent. Pick a theme and work around this for the décor and table setting.
MENU
A combination of light, hot and cold dishes, preferably 2 or 3. Keep it simple. Overcomplicated dishes means more stress and less time to enjoy.
DRINKS
Tea and coffee is a must, along with fresh juice or iced tea. You may also want to add in a cocktail or champagne or mimosa to add a touch of sophistication.
MOOD
Set the mood with some easy listening music, preferably our Mother’s favourites. Music helps tie everything together.
SHARE
Share food, share stories. Take pictures and create happy memories. A happy family is the greatest gift a mother could ask for.
