Celebrate Dad with Flavour He Won’t Forget - from Vikalinka


Father’s Day, Served with Style

Hello Reader

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to honour the incredible dads in our lives than with a meal that’s as bold and memorable as they are?

This year, skip the generic grill kits and treat Dad to something extraordinary. I’ve curated a collection of elevated recipes—think fluffy pancakes, perfectly seared steaks, juicy burgers, and decadent sides, that will make him feel like royalty.

Whether you’re planning a backyard feast or an elegant dinner at home, these dishes bring the flavour—and the love.

Let’s make this Father’s Day deliciously unforgettable!

Classic American-Style Pancakes

Start dad's day with the breakfast you know he wants! This is what we make every Father's Day, with the kids taking the lead. Always one that will make dad happy, especially when served with maple syrup and strips of bacon!

Epic Smash Burger

This smash-style burger with crispy caramelised edges and a juicy middle is so easy to make at home. Stack it high for more fun, and to make dad even happier. It's a simple technique that delivers amazing results!

Grilled Tomahawk Steak with Herb Butter

Why go to a steak house when you can make this remarkable grilled tomahawk steak right at home? It's a premium steak, and you'll know why as soon as you take one bite. Don’t forget to top with our garlicky herb butter for added flavour.

Rib Eye Steak with Sicilian Herb Sauce

Juicy and full of flavour rib eye steak is undoubtedly the king of steaks when cooked properly. And this one can be done on your stovetop, giving dad a day off from the grill. Drizzle Sicilian Salmoriglio sauce aka lemon herb sauce all over yours for a taste of summer!

Truffle Mac and Cheese

You know dad wants mac and cheese, so why not make the best version there is? Upgrade his fav with luxurious truffle flavour. It’s a sophisticated treat that won’t cost the earth.

Parmesan Truffle Fries

Just when you thought you couldn’t crave fries any harder, along come Parmesan Truffle Fries. If you haven’t had them yet: mind blown. But did you know they are easy to make at home? Dad is going to love this one, especially as an elevated side to a steak or burger!

Wishing you a flavourful week ahead!

Love,
