What is an Agua Fresca?
An agua fresca (which translates to “fresh water”) is a refreshing drink widely popular in Central and South America, Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean.
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.
As we get closer to Easter (and further into Spring), I’ve been leaning into baked goods that feel a little brighter, more colorful, and good for sharing. Some of these are brand new recipes I developed this season—like the Toasted Coconut Cupcakes with Passionfruit Curd–and others are old favorites I keep coming back to—like the Pistachio Braid. Whether you're baking for Easter, or just in the mood for something a little sweet, this is what I’ve been making in the test kitchen recently.
• When making a cream cheese frosting for the carrot cakes, wait to add the cream cheese until the very end and whip as little as possible until it’s combined. The more you whip, the more moisture gets drawn out from the cream cheese, which can result in a less-stable frosting.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and if your mom spends most of spring and summer digging, pruning, planting, or admiring her flower beds, you’re in the right place. We rounded up the best gardening gifts for moms, from practical tools like watering wands and plant markers to thoughtful extras like gardener’s hand cream and a fresh tomato leaf candle. Whether she’s a veggie-grower, wildflower fanatic, or more of a tomato-in-a-container kind of gardener, this list has something she’ll use—and love.
To curate this list, I went straight to the source: my mom and my aunt. Both of them have serious planting experience. I grew up trailing behind my mom in the garden center at Home Depot and Lowe’s, not knowing what anything was, but totally enchanted by the colors and vines.

Whether you're hosting brunch, bringing something to a spring picnic, or just craving a nostalgic snack, deviled eggs always deliver. Creamy, tangy, and endlessly riffable, they're the kind of thing people reach for before even asking what's in them. From the tried-and-true classics to recipes with kimchi, smoked trout, or crispy bacon, here are our best deviled egg recipes to make for your next gathering.
Cooked, cut in half, emptied, then refilled with something delicious—it begs the question: Are deviled eggs really just the egg version of twice baked potatoes? Either way, deviled eggs remain the perfect snack for spring hosting. Handheld, easy to make, and always crowd-pleasing, this classic deserves an invite to every party.
There’s something about spring that makes dinner feel like an occasion again. The days are longer, flowers are blooming, and suddenly setting the table feels just as important as what’s being served.
I’ve loved “tablescaping” for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I’d jump at any excuse to set the table—Sunday dinners, holidays, even regular weeknights. I went through a serious napkin-folding phase (I’m talking flowers, hearts, animals…I’d even refold them at restaurants). At home, I’d use wrapping paper as a makeshift runner, sprinkle confetti around (much to my mother’s annoyance), and rummage through drawers for anything remotely decorative.
Meet my favorite scone recipe! These delicious scones are craggy and lightly crisp around the edges, and lusciously tender and studded with juicy blueberries inside. Lemon zest and tangy Greek yogurt take the flavor to the next level.
These flavorful blueberry scones are the perfect breakfast treat that’s sweet but not cloying. A light sprinkle of crackly raw sugar on top makes them taste extra special.
Serve them for a special occasion, like Easter or Mother’s Day brunch, or make them as a fun afternoon baking project. I’m excited to offer an option for mini scones, too, which are half the size of bakery scones. They’re so cute.
