Mother's Day Family Dinner

Each year I cook a Mother's Day meal for friends of mine, and they invite the whole extended family over. In the past I have done ethnically themed meals for them, but this year I decided to focus on the sense of smell, and present dishes from the Gilded Fork which highlight the more aromatic and fragrant ingredients.
