This Sunday, the first of May, Spain celebrates Mother's Day. Besides flowers and perfumes, it's common to gift kitchen utensils or cookbooks: not in vain, only half of Spanish men take on cooking,
Giving a blender to a mother who cooks out of obligation, because her male partner claims he doesn't even know how to make a Spanish tortilla, is the best way to perpetuate inequality in the division of household chores, and it's as bad a gift as a mop or a floor wringer.
But, with that clear, it's evident that just as more and more fathers are tackling this essential household task out of enjoyment, there are mothers who are truly cooking enthusiasts, and in this case, they will be thrilled to receive a new frying pan, a recipe book, or any utensil that helps them create more and better recipes.
We've reviewed the best Amazon deals to put together this selection of gifts, which will arrive in time to treat mothers on their special day.
