What To Cook Dad For Father’s Day

When Is Father’s Day 2023?

Here in Australia, Father’s Day is always on the first Sunday in September – which means in 2023, it falls on Sunday, September 3.

For A Tasty Father’s Day Brekkie

Is your dad a morning person? Start his day right with a hearty plate of Healthy Zucchini Fritters With Red Pepper Dip. The best thing about these delicious morsels is you can prep them ahead of time using a food processor – perfect for maximising your Sunday lie-in!

If Dad’s a fitness fan, put some pep in his step with a nutrient-packed protein smoothie, nicely whipped up in a blender.

Finally, to round off your morning menu, don’t forget the crucial caffeine hit! Bust out his regular order in record time using one of the top-selling coffee machines on the market.

“The best kitchen appliances make your life easier and you’ll spend less time prepping eats and drinks,” says Tracey Ellis, The Good Guys Buyer – Portable Appliances. “Think food processors that do the chopping for you, large-capacity blenders and mixers with powerful motors, and automatic coffee machines for hassle-free drink orders.”
