Food for a crowd

Tacos top the list of Chef Arturo Franco-Camacho's favorite dishes, and he serves plenty at both of his Connecticut restaurants, the Geronimo Tequila Bar & Southwest Grill and the Camacho Garage. For Mother's Day, this version of tacos is a crowd-pleaser and can easily serve a big group. This recipe is easy to adapt based on what you have in the fridge (and what you like!), and since guests assemble their own taco, it leaves time for the cook to socialize.

A sweet brunch treat

Frontier Restaurant Chef Brian Jupiter spends most days whipping up dishes for his two Chicago restaurants, Ina Mae Tavern and Frontier, but on Mother's Day he spends it in the kitchen with his daughter making blueberry and almond bread pudding. "My daughter Adriana and I make this dish for Mother's Day every year,” says Jupiter. “It's easy enough to whip up with your kids and doesn't take a lot of time so you can focus on other dishes for your meal."
