Celebrating all mums!

Mother's Day is celebrated in Australia and New Zealand on the second Sunday of May. It is a day to appreciate mums, grandmothers, step mums and other important female figures.

Mother's Day recipes

Today is the day we thank our mum for everything she does for us. Say thank you by cooking her a delicious breakfast or fancy brunch that the whole family can enjoy.

Try our buckwheat crepes with berries (a great gluten-free option made from buckwheat and rice flour), flavoured with cinnamon and vanilla. They also make the most of fresh seasonal berries but you can also swap them out for whatever fruits are in season.

Feeling more adventurous with your cooking? Make mum our spelt banana waffles with rhubarb and yoghurt. Rhubarb, date and orange puree makes a sweet freshening topping for these tasty banana waffles and they are all in season during May.
