Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
In the Middle East Mother’s Day is in March.
Since my husband is – in some ways – quite a typical guy and tends to forget things like Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and dentist appointments, I make note of two Mother’s Day dates every year so that my sweet Syrian mother-in-law isn’t forgotten in March and my own mom isn’t forgotten in May.
This beautifully aromatic dish is something I’d happily serve to either of them for brunch on their special day.…
If you decide to make just one of my recipes, I highly recommend you make this bread. It requires only minimal ingredients and effort, but still tastes like a million bucks.

I wanted to make a Béchamel sauce (this is a white sauce; it’s basically just milk that is thickened […]...

I based this recipe on my double-crusted cheesecake (which was featured here on Delish…yay!). This cake is light and fresh and very summery with the strawberries; it’s the perfect ending to a beautiful Mother’s Day (or any summertime) meal. Happy Mother’s Day!
