ilili’s Mother’s Day Menu Looks Great

ilili's Mother's Day menu features the apricot almond cake inspired by Chef Phillipe Massoud's mother

ilili’s Mother’s Day menu looks fantastic! Chef Philippe Massoud has crafted special treats and unique specials for the day.

One item of personal significance is Chef Philippe Massoud’s Apricot Almond Cake (pictured above). This cake is in celebration of his mother who, when Chef Phillipe was a small child, told him that when his cake came up short it could still be delicious with some almond jam on top.
