Whether your Mom would prefer to celebrate with brunch, dinner, or a hands-on cooking class, Clean Plates has you covered for a sustainable and healthy Mother’s Day.
Brunch at ABC Kitchen
Take brunch at a leisurely pace this Mother’s Day at Clean Plates green-rated ABC Kitchen. Begin the meal with a light kale salad with lemon, serrano chile, and mint, or a roasted carrot and avocado salad. Healthful main course options include a hearty grilled portobello sandwich with peppery arugula and Parmesan cheese, or a spinach, herb and goat cheese pizza. To finish celebrating Mom with something sweet, try the warm pear crisp served with ginger ice cream.
Dinner at Balaboosta
Thank Mom by taking her to Clean Plates-approved Balaboosta (which roughly translates as “perfect homemaker” in Yiddish) and dine beneath the portrait of chef Einat Admony’s aunt in a warm ambiance that celebrates women. Start with the mortar-and-pestle, lemony hummus spread on pita bread hot from the oven. For dinner give the whole branzino with grilled asparagus a try, or twirl the house made beet pasta with spinach, garlic, and crunchy herbed breadcrumbs.
Cooking Classes at Camaje
For a hands on Mother’s Day, sign up for one of the cooking classes at Camaje. Join Chef Abigail Hitchcock on a Shop & Cook class at the Union Square Farmer’s Market for a pre-holiday excursion on Saturday. Catch up with mom as the class gathers ingredients at the market before returning to Camaje for a cooking lesson complete with recipes. On Sunday, a vegetarian Indian cooking class will instruct you both in fragrant spices, chunky chutneys, crispy samosas and more.
