Beyond Breakfast in Bed
Give Mom a much-deserved brunch with these exclusive recipes
Everyone knows it's the thought that counts, but this Mother's Day, channel those good intentions into the ultimate gift: an elegant brunch made by your loving hands.
If your brunch repertoire is limited to burnt toast and store-bought OJ, fear not: Tasting Table has partnered with Freixenet sparkling wines to create an easy brunch menu (click here to download the PDF) that will show your appreciation for all those years of laundry and carpooling.
Tasting Table's kitchen wizards have created two foolproof recipes: a puffy baked pancake with cinnamon-maple syrup, and luscious orange-ricotta crémes with strawberries and pecans. And because a fine brunch isn't complete without bubbly, they've created a sprightly, Freixenet-based sparkling cocktail made with muddled raspberries, citrus and Cordon Negro Brut.
Or opt to serve a glass of Freixenet all on its own for Mom's brunch. Try the Elyssia Gran Cuvée Brut, a citrusy, honeyed blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, and the crisp Cordon Rosado, full of ripe cherry and berry flavors.
Since 1861, the company (pronounced "fresh-eh-net") has been producing quality cava in the traditional Méthode Champenoise fashion--a difficult and lengthy process, but worth the effort to produce those beautiful, tiny bubbles.
Need more inspiration? Check out Freixenet's tips for throwing a memorable brunch party--which include more recipes, cocktails and tips--then go make Mom proud. Or you can visit Freixenet on Facebook.
