Make it a Mothers Day to Remember

Mothers Day is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect opportunity to show your mum – or the mother of your children – how much she means to you.

Here at Kitchen Design Centre, we’ve put together some wonderful Mothers Day breakfast ideas that should warm your lovely lady’s heart on March 30th and show her how much you care.

Un Café, S’il Vous Plaît!

For many people (especially tired and busy mums), the most important part of any breakfast is a hot, soothing cup of something caffeinated!

So why not treat the woman in your life to some wonderful gourmet coffee? Get yourself down to a local café and ask them for some fresh coffee beans that will suit the mum in your life down to a tee!

Not sure which coffee to go for? Use our handy guide to pick your perfect bean!  

Colombian: lovely, rounded coffee; moderate in acidity and sweetness

Costa Rican: rich and full-bodied with a touch of smoke and a pleasing acidity

Ethiopian: sumptuous and spicy, full of character and life

Guatemalan: flavourful and rich; smoky like smooth dark chocolate

Indian: mild, low in acidity and subtly spiced with a full body

Jamaican Blue Mountain: perfectly balanced, smooth and lush

Kenyan: very mellow coffee with a hint of citrus. Light and refreshing

Java: light in body but full of rich, subtle tones. High in acidity

Sumatran: dark, earthy, full-bodied; coffee at its most natural.

One Mothers Day gift that would never be forgotten is Neff’s innovative compact coffee maker – perfect for the coffee-loving mum! She’ll never be tempted to pop into Costa again, as this wonderful coffee machine – one of our most popular kitchen appliances – can memorise just how she likes her drink.

With 2.5 litre capacity, the Neff compact coffee maker is the perfect kitchen appliance for a busy family breakfast, a lively dinner party or just a moment on the hop. It comes with an integrated bean grinder, milk frother and My Coffee function, which means that your favourite drinks are just a button-push away.

The Big Breakfast!

A big breakfast is a great way of getting young children involved in Mothers’ Day – as long as you keep their more ‘creative’ recipe ideas in check!

Why not cook up a full English breakfast (like this stress-free recipe from BBC Good Food!) or a continental brunch with pastries, fruit juice, scrambled eggs and more? Young children can whisk eggs, pop toast in the toaster and make a special card to go on the breakfast tray.

Kitchen Appliances To Make Life Easier

At Kitchen Design Centre, we’re all about making life that little bit easier – and our range of state-of-the-art kitchen appliances is no different.

Our Neff induction hobs heat up quickly to one of 17 different power levels, but keep little fingers safe as they’re only hot when in contact with a pan. We’ve got warming drawers that are perfect for gently heating items like croissants and buns (although they’ll hold up to 12 plates). And dare we say it, they’re brilliant for keeping your food ready to serve if your culinary timing’s not quite spot on!

Meanwhile, our Quooker boiling water taps make quick work of brewing up, boiling or poaching eggs and blanching spinach – perfect for Eggs Florentine.
