Appetizers
A delicious intro to any meal or a tantalizing hor d'oeuvre to pass around throughout the day, these cured salmon and potato rosti are the perfect combination of flavor and texture. Sweet and luxurious cured salmon, is complemented by a warm and toasty base of potato rosti brought together by a dollop of creme fraiche.

Deviled eggs get a major upgrade through the addition of sumptuous mounds of caviar. From Osetra to Hackleback no matter your favorite, the classic rich and creamy filling is wonderfully complemented by the briny taste of caviar, making this a quick and luxurious appetizer any dad will love.
Entrées
Father’s day falls in the middle of grill season, making it ideally suited to any outdoor cooking venture. Why not cook up a midday feast your father’s sure to savor for the rest of the year by preparing some juicy Berkshire pork loin ribs. Two hefty racks offer plenty of fall-off-the-bone tender meat to keep everyone full and satisfied. Take the whole experience to the next level by creating your very own barbecue sauce from scratch. Our delicious recipe is quick to whip together: and offers a sweet and zesty flavor that can’t be matched by anything sold on store shelves.
The Kobe of the poultry world, Jidori chicken is renowned everywhere for its robust flavor and its unparalleled freshness. Brought up exclusively on a wholesome vegetarian diet and always delivered the same day it’s slaughtered, Jidori chicken is the one bird you can serve sashimi-style. For the father who’s not quite ready to eat his chicken raw, try using this traditional blend of Spanish spices to enhance the delightfully savory taste of Jidori.
Desserts
For the dad who doesn’t consider a meal complete without a little something sweet, we suggest homemade sorbet! A sophisticated summer dessert that not only tastes incredible but is incredibly easy to make, our recipe for passion fruit and mango sorbet is the perfect finish to your father’s day meal.
If your father prefers chocolate over fruit, try another simple dessert: truffles! Quick and relatively easy to make, these are the perfect make-ahead option that can be brought out as soon as the plates have been cleared so everyone can keep enjoying each other's company without a moment's interruption.
