A father is someone who carries pictures in his wallet, where his money used to be. He is his son’s first hero and his daughter’s first love…he is also the worst joke teller in the world!
My own father was not only a parent, but my mentor, coach and best friend – I could always rely on him for words of wisdom, a funny moment and someone to enjoy a glass of wine with.
As we prepare for Father’s Day on Sunday, September 3, this week, we celebrate Dad with collections of the best places to take him for a brew – whether that be a coffee or beer at your favourite local hangout.
We also catch up exclusively with Chef Matt Golinski and his family at their Kin Kin home as he reflects on the past 10 months since leaving View restaurant in Noosa, plus he shares a breakfast recipe to treat Dad on September 3.
There’s also a curated list of liquors to spirit dad away from gin to rum and whisky; or take him on a road trip to the Capricorn Coast and visit these five Readers’ Choice Award-winning venues for golden days, balmy nights and great cuisine.
Looking for Italian fare with flair you can recreate at home? We have three amazing recipes from Alec Morris’ latest cookbook Pasta et Al – the many shapes of family tradition and all the tricks of the trade to make perfect pasta.
