| | From Jessica Ann Mola, your About Food & Drink Editor I owe my appreciation of good food and drink to one person in my life, really: my dad. Sure, my mom has taught me a lot about cooking, but it's Dad who got me into eating oysters (raw, with lots of lemon juice and hot sauce), who taught me how to make homemade wine, who introduced me to sushi when I was just a little kid. And the list goes on. Don't worry Dad, I won't talk about the time I had to teach you how to make French toast... when I was three. | | Top 10 Father's Day Recipes A Father's Day meal requires "man food," says Stephanie, and that's exactly what she delivers in this list: decadent recipes not only designed to please the man of the house, but everyone else, too. Whether you're looking for a fantastic burger recipe, a killer potato salad recipe or how to make an ice cream pie, Stephanie's got your casual Father's Day menu covered. | Healthy Recipes For Dads Maybe Dad is a health nut or is on a special diet this year. It's his day, so if you decide to cook for him, make sure you cater to his dietary preferences and needs! Jen's got a great recipe list here that features plenty of fresh seasonal produce, seafood and a mouthwatering gluten-free Chocolate Hazelnut Torte. | Make Dad A Manly Drink My dad usually sticks to a glass of wine at dinner, but on special occasions (like Father's Day!) he enjoys a well-mixed cocktail. Colleen's list here includes some of the most popular "manly drinks," most of which require one type of whiskey or another but also a few with rum or tequila or a little of everything (see Long Island Iced Tea). | Cooking Gifts And Kitchen Gadgets For Dads Is Dad a master of the grill or a pro chef in the kitchen? Or, heck, maybe he just wants a cool bottle opener for his beer (you've gotta see the one Jessica recommends here). Here are a few ideas at every price range for a clever and unforgettable Father's Day gift. | | | | Food & Drink Ads | | | | Featured Articles | | | | More from About.com | | | | | | Bake Sale Bestsellers Make your next bake sale a profitable one with these irresistible recipes.
