Menu for dads

by Jane Curran on Tuesday, 16 June 2009

Spoil your dad this weekend with a lovingly cooked meal in his honour. If the sun’s out (and if Dad will let you…) get the barbie out for a truly summery occasion, but if the weather’s not so good, these dishes will all work well on the griddle or grill too.

Rosemary and Parma ham scallops recipe
Rich, sweet scallops, salty ham and fragrant rosemary combine in this most decadent of starters. Serve with lemon wedges and bitter leaves.

Fillet steak with blue cheese butter recipe

Buy the best British outdoor-reared beef that you can. Your tastebuds will thank you for it! Cheaper cuts of steak, such as rump or skirt will work equally well here if you want to reduce costs. We serve the steak with tasty bubble and squeak cakes.

Calvados apple and custard tart recipe

This French-inspired apple tart had all the men in our lives wolfing down seconds and thirds. Serve this apple tart with lashings of ice cream, and generous glasses of Calvados.
