With that in mind, let’s help Mum and Dad rekindle their relationship with a bit of time just the two of them. And while it is all about Mum on Mother’s Day, there's no reason why Mum and Dad can't celebrate together and create even more memories of the special day!

By doing a cooking class together, they’ll learn so many new tips and tricks for cooking up fantastic restaurant-worthy meals. Their confidence will grow and they’ll both feel empowered to cook more recipes from scratch, without feeling like there’s no time to do so.
