Spoil a food-loving dad, granddad, or brother this Father's Day!
Whether they're a BBQ fanatic, a snack lover, or a self-confessed sweet tooth, we’ve got the perfect foodie treat for the special guy(s) in your life.
Read on for some foodie activities, homemade gift ideas and of course, plenty of Thermomix® recipe inspiration. Because all the best presents are food based!
As well as preparing the delicious homemade foodie gifts we’re sharing, here are some more present suggestions for food-loving Dads:
• Design and print off a gift voucher for a future treat meal of his choosing.
• Make a Cookidoo® collection of recipes you think he’ll love.
• Create a hamper of all his favourite snacks or drinks.
• Plan a week of Dad’s favourite recipes using the Cookidoo® Weekly Planner.
• Gift a voucher for a cookery experience or local cooking class.
If you really want to wow Dad, send him an invitation to the hottest restaurant in town – right in his home!
Here are a few tips for whipping up a restaurant-style meal without having to leave the house:
• Let him choose: Get together with Dad a couple of weeks before Father’s Day and offer him 2-3 menu options so he can pick a dinner he’s sure to love.
• Set the mood: Create a playlist of all Dad’s favourite songs to play during dinner. Better yet, ask him to make the playlist himself!
• Lay the table: Dust off the best china, use the fancy serviettes, and place beautiful fresh flowers in the middle of the table. You could even go one step further and create a centrepiece based on his favourite hobby! Golf club bouquet, anyone?
• Focus on presentation: To make the meal feel special, take a little extra care over the finishing touches. Simple things like a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a microgreens garnish can really elevate the meal into something special.
And of course, it goes without saying that Dad gets a free pass from the washing up!
