Recipe File: Why not cook for mom on Mother's Day?

MANILA, Philippines - Every mom, even just once a year, must experience being cooked for and served by her loved ones. Mother’s Day is an excellent time to do this — the spouse and the kids should work together to bring mom to heights of gastronomic bliss.
