Man's best friend is often a good book, so we believe it is a special gift for this Mother's Day. Take advantage of mom's love and passion for cooking and give her a book where she can find recipes and gastronomic stories that she will want to share with the whole family.

Here are 5 cookbooks to give to mom this May 10.

Family food

Chef Ferrán Adrià reflects his experience as director of El Bulli Restaurant in this book, sharing easy and cheap menus that can be served for two or 75 people, as well as planning and saving tips. Perfect for when the family gets together!

The taste of Mexico

Patricia Quintana gives us a gastronomic tour of the country through her book "The taste of Mexico", where she allows us to discover more than 225 recipes and photographs of classic dishes from Mexican cuisine.

Sor Juana in the kitchen

It is full of curiosities that take us into the process of creating Mexican gastronomy in colonial times. An excellent book that combines culinary history and traditional recipes of Mexican cuisine written by Mónica Lavín and Ana Benítez.

Alchemy and flavor atmospheres

Doña Carmen "Titita", owner of El Bajío de Azcapotzalco Restaurant, compiles 304 pages of anecdotes from her family kitchen and Veracruz recipes that reflect her tradition and personality.

Mom's Best Recipes

Although more than a book, it contains the format of an album, "The best recipes for mom" aims to document the recipes that mom prepares every day and choose the family favorites. The book includes spaces to fill in Mom's profile, ingredients, photos, cooking instructions, important notes, and more.

Dream desserts

The sweet side of this tour is sponsored by Paulina Abascal, Ambassador of the Mexican Confectionery, who brings together more than 80 classic and modern dessert recipes to crown a good family meal.
