SO... pudding is a packet of choc chip cookies alternatley dipped in sherry and very strong cold coffee, stacked along a plate and covered in whipped cream, with grated choc on top. I defy any mum or dad not to like it.

Really... I never would of guessed that... 
I cooked for my ex's parents once (ONLY once!!). Spent hours slaving over something very nice and reasonably French influenced, only to be told when we all sat down to eat that 'we don't like all this messed-about-with foreign stuff'... One was gutted...... 
They got whatever was on special in ASDA's after that..... ungrateful old gits ...  "

A roast dinner, one cannot really go wrong with a roast chicken.
For starter, something that I can make in advance, such smoked salmon or smoked mackerel "pate" made with cream cheese.
For dessert, again, something that I can make in advance, such as Tiramisu or chocolate mousse.

For a Sunday lunch I'd do 5 hr slow cooked lamb. Means you just need to bung it in the one in the morning and then do a bit of veg to go with it when it's nearly ready. |

Well, you could either go for the 'let's surprise them' route and do something they won't be expecting (I am assuming this is a Mother's Day thing?), or go for the predictable, but go a bit over the top.
Like the idea someone said about stew and dumplings. Just make it a more modern 'take' on it - maybe individual ones with some slightly different veggies??? Or, if you really feel like it, Beef (or salmon) Wellington..?? |

Some chicken fillets. Make a pocket and stuff with sun dryed tomatoes,garlic,and a little of you fav cheese. Wrap in Parma ham. Brown them in a pan then stick in the oven to finish. Serve with some home made wedges and salad. |
