Gourmet gifts
The Cookbook Cafe at the Intercontinental Park Lane and branches of Whitbread’s latest concept Taybarns have come up with solutions for children looking to create a gift for their mother and treat them to a meal out too.
Mini Chef sessions at the Cookbook Cafe tomorrow will teach children how to make chocolate brownies and cheesy biscuits that they can give for Mother’s day. While the children get involved in the kitchen, their parents are invited to enjoy brunch with unlimited Champagne, Bellinis and food from the buffet.
Taybarns is giving web-savvy children the chance to save money on presents by creating a microsite where they can download card and badge templates to print out and give to their mums. The restaurants will be charging a fixed price of £9.95 for adults and £4.50 for adults for access to its varied self-service food selection.
