Mother’s Day is more than just a “Hallmark” holiday. It represents an opportunity to acknowledge the most important woman in your life - the one who gave you life. Nothing communicates love and appreciation more than a gourmet meal. If you’re looking for inspiration for a sensational dinner at home or for your restaurant’s Mother’s Day menu, look to Chef Scott Boswell of Stella! in New Orleans. Boswell serves polished European fare with Asian accents in his intimate French Quarter eatery, located just off historic Jackson Square. His Mother’s Day menu is studded with the rich flavors of the land and sea, as in the luscious swirls of caviar butter and the decadent potato and wild mushroom galette. So go ahead and spoil mom – she’s definitely worth the effort.
