Father's Day is the perfect opportunity to show your dad just how much he means to you. And what better way to do that than with an incredible feast designed specifically with his tastes in mind? This year, ditch the standard tie and aftershave routine and treat dad to something truly memorable – a carefully curated menu that combines hearty flavours, crowd-pleasing dishes, and that perfect balance of dad's taste.

1. Rib sandwiches

For starters, these sticky pork rib rib sliders are perfect for sharing while the braai gets going! Pair them with fresh slaw and crispy pickles to whet dad's appetite and set the tone for the incredible meal.

2.Sticky braaied pork ribs

These ribs come with the full braai treatment: grilled corn slathered in garlic-herb butter, charred peppers that bring a smoky sweetness, and accompaniments of potato salad and Asian-style slaw that provide cooling contrast to the sticky ribs.

3. Easy beef stew

This isn't just any beef stew – it's an elevated version that uses quality steak rub seasoning and fresh herbs to create layers of flavour. The longer cooking time allows the beef to become melt-in-your-mouth tender while the vegetables break down into a rich, satisfying base. Served over basmati rice, it's the kind of meal that makes dad feel truly cared for.

4. Coffee pecan nut pie

This dessert combines three of dad's favourite things – coffee, nuts and chocolate – in a rich, decadent pie that's worthy of any celebration. The home-made pastry base elevates the experience, and the crème fraîche provides a cool, creamy contrast to the intense flavours.

5. Whisky bru

This drink combines whisky (a classic "dad drink") with the refined elegance of Earl Grey tea, creating something special that shows thoughtfulness. It's best enjoyed in the afternoon or after dinner.
