Father’s Day is around the corner. Instead of the common gifts (ties, cologne, mugs, electronics), give your foodie dad a present he’ll really enjoy. Here are a few ideas:
For the Beer Lover
Brooklyn Brew Shop creates stylish brewing kits designed especially for stovetop brewing and ingredient mixes for seasonally inspired beers. The kits are remarkably intuitive, and include everything you’ll need to become a brew master, including a beer mix of your choice. They retail for a reasonable $40. Even the most kitchen-clueless Dad will love showing off his new beer-making prowess.
For the Scotch Connoisseur
Jay recommends a bottle of Johnnie Walker Double Black Label. It’s a nice alternative to the good old classic Johnnie Walker Black Label. It has a slightly smoother taste and a smoky tone. Non-overpowering richness makes it a new instant classic. Great Scotch for the price.
For the Grill Master
The right grilling tools are critical to making your barbecue cookout a success. Williams Sonoma’s Monogrammed BBQ Tools Set has all the essentials: a stainless steel basting mop, fork, slotted spatula and tongs.
Last week we got a copy of Bobby Flay’s latest cookbook, Barbecue Addiction. There are tons of great recipes that Dad would enjoy cooking, er, grilling, and of course, eating. Recipes like Rib Eye with Goat Cheese and Meyer Lemon-Honey Mustard and Grilled Soft Shell Crab Sandwiches got our mouths watering as soon as we opened the book.
Williams Sonoma Monogrammed Apron is the perfect gift. It’s a durable piece that comes in a variety of colors. Our apron has been working hard over the years and is in great shape.
