Better Than Brunch
a last-minute Mother's Day gift she'll use all year
Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate.
If you’re scrambling for a last-minute gift for the food-loving mother in your life — or honestly for yourself — may I make a suggestion?
Gift her a year of Amateur Gourmet. Here’s what she gets the moment she subscribes:
The recipe that will make her the most popular person at every dinner party: Barbuto’s Legendary Kale Salad. The pie dough technique that will finally make her a pie person: Nicole Rucker’s Method. The showstopper that looks impossible but isn’t: Giant Gougères. The cozy weeknight staple she’ll make on repeat: White Chicken Chili. The perfect thing to bake right now: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie.
Plus: fifteen years of recipes, restaurant writing, and the occasional essay that’ll make her laugh or cry or both — like the time I walked out of Noma mid-meal. And if she lives in New York or is visiting soon: my Top 10 NYC Restaurants, updated and opinionated.
It arrives in her inbox instantly. It lasts all year. And it pairs beautifully with whatever she’s drinking right now.
Or treat yourself. That works too.
Happy Mother’s Day.
Your pal, Adam
