Make Mother's Day special on May 14 and whip up one (or more) of these seasonal treats.

Simple mushroom-topped polenta makes a rustic lunch or vegetarian dinner. It must be served hot as it will start to set if left to sit for too long, so have your mum and the rest of the family at the table, ready to eat.
