The most memorable Mother's Days seem to happen when families find ways to create personal, significant celebrations. You don't have to spend a lot of money to make Mom feel special. Another great way to celebrate Mother's Day is with an afternoon tea. If the weather is nice, have the party in the garden. Crumpets and scones are authentic English tea-party choices, but muffins, cookies or a cake can also be wonderful.
Offer spreads such as jams and jellies, honey and lemon curd.
You'll also want to make plenty of elegant little tea sandwiches. Below are recipes for three of my favorites. Questions may also be sent by electronic mail. Martha Stewart regrets that unpublished letters cannot be answered individually. Spoon ricotta on each round.
