Recipes Inspired by the Mothers of Celebrity Chefs and Cookbook Authors

Mother's Day is a time to give back to our mother's and grandmother's in a very special way. For so many years, they fed us and were there whenever we needed them. They held us when we broke up with our first love. Applauded, when we took our first bow in the school play. Waited up for us when we stayed out too late. They showed us how to bake our first batch of chocolate cookies and let us lick the bowl!!

So many of the starchefs and cookbook authors we spoke with said they were inspired by their mothers and grandmothers. Many of their voices became joyful, telling stories of cooking when they were young.

Mother's Day is the perfect day to show them all you've learned and prepare a delicious meal for them. Everyday is the perfect day to tell you mother or grandmother how much you love them.

Happy Mother's Day to all!!!
