Whether you’re doing the pampering or being pampered, good food can make all the difference on this special day.

Russell Hobbs is calling you and your family to share your Mother’s Day recipes, and you could win a luxury Toaster and Kettle set to help you prepare the perfect meal.

Perhaps you like to show your mum you love her with a homemade cake? Or you make cookies with the kids?

Tell us what you think makes the ultimate Mother’s Day menu, how you make it, and how you present it, and we could be featuring your recipe right here on the official Russell Hobbs website.

The best suggestion will win a Kettle and Toaster set from the winner’s choice of our Heritage or Deluxe ranges and we’ll be featuring other top picks on the site here as the competition progresses.

Entering the competition couldn’t be easier – simply send us your ultimate Mother’s Day Recipe to russellhobbscompetition@gmail.com. Be as creative as you like, how would you prepare the food?
