Mother’s Day Gifts for Moms Who Love to Cook

From luxe bakeware to medjool dates to cookbooks from mother-daughter duos, these gifts will totally upgrade her kitchen game.

This Mother’s Day, I asked more than 50 women in my life — family, friends, coworkers, even our test kitchen team — what they actually want as gifts. And turns out, it’s not always another candle (though those are still welcome).

If your mom, grandma, or mother figure lights up at a fancy olive oil or sees cookbooks as treasure maps, this list is for her. I rounded up some of the best gifts for moms who love to cook — from splurge-worthy tools to sweet experiences you can share together.

Think: artisanal condiments, buttery-soft bakeware, cozy cooking classes, and a few surprises she didn’t even know she needed (but absolutely will love).

Dates are everywhere right now — smoothies, brownies, homemade syrups — and these are the best. We're using them a bunch in the test kitchen. Plus, I recently learned that dates are also recommended for new moms and breastfeeding support. Go for the 2 lb box from Joolies Dates to really surprise her.
