Personally, I can get into an all-or-nothing mindset that can make it hard for me to finish making an ambitious gift, so I can imagine myself in your mom’s shoes and not finishing a gift. So maybe a shift from “need final product” to “keep on collecting recipes” could help with that.

Would it help to let her know you would enjoy whatever she has had a chance to collect so far? Maybe it could be a binder of recipes which you receive now, but the family keeps adding to over time.
