15 Cookbooks That Make Great Mother’s Day Gifts

Are you looking for a cookbook that is beautiful, innovative, accessible, modern — and, oh, just happens to be plant-based and mostly gluten-free? Then pair the mom in your life with this cookbook for a perfect meeting of delicious, healthy intentions and aspirations. Laura Wright’s cooking certainly has one foot in the hippie camp: There’s plenty of hemp, millet, and tempeh, which gives the book a grounded, earthy feel. But, a closer look reveals a sophisticated, international touch as well, with plenty of fresh herbs, chili, and citrus bringing a lively balance and brightness. There are many family-pleasing recipes here, including a significant dessert section, as well as drinks, small bites, and breakfasts.
