It’s almost June 19th, which means it is time to celebrate fantastic fathers everywhere. Do you have a father in your life that loves to cook? Local Root has something for everyone, and we’ve curated a list of wonderful gifts for Father’s Day this year that are sure to make any dad smile.
To start, check out Garnier Thiebaut’s Costa Emeraude Linen Apron. Boasting a soft, emerald green and minimalist stripe pattern, treat the father in your life to an apron that seamlessly combines luxury and utility. Made in France, this gorgeous linen apron is machine washable and safe to put in the dryer as well, making care for this item easy, so dad doesn’t have to worry about any messes. Better yet, pair this apron with Garnier’s Costa Emeraude Kitchen Towel for a matching set that is perfect for the kitchen or grill.
Want to make starting the grill a breeze? Rosle’s Charcoal Starter is quick, convenient and reliable. This attractive, stainless steel starter comes with a spark guard for the safe transport of glowing charcoal into any grill. With no need for lighter fluid, this invaluable addition to any cook’s collection requires only the smallest bit of kindling and the touch of a match to the holes at the bottom, resulting in a quick and even burn — just wait 15 minutes and you’re ready to start cooking!
Make your dad’s morning cup extra special with the Medium Espresso Coffee Maker designed by Richard Sapper. The 9090 Espresso Maker is Alessi’s first coffee maker and can brew about three cups of espresso. Complete with a stainless body and wide handle, this coffee maker is easy to use and eye catching. Featuring an anti-drip spout and simple lever, Alessi makes pouring coffee easy, paired with a large base for maximum heat absorption.
Perfect for any golf-lover, Tovolo’s Golf Ball Ice Mold comes in a set of two to make impressively large, novelty ice. Enjoy whiskey, bourbon, spirits or other cold beverages with these molds. Featuring highly detailed shapes, the ice from these molds slide out extremely easily, for a quick and unique way to chill your drink.
Another fantastic gift perfect for any baker is J.K. Adams’ Petite Maple Pastry Board. Fashioned with a maple cleat, this board will make preparing pastries easy. Complete with a design that helps bakers measure width and length, get ready to make the perfect pie crusts, pasta, bread, cookies, and more.
For the best Coq Au Vin, or a delicious chicken pot pie, Staub’s Four Quart Round Cocotte features self-basting spikes on the lid to create a rain-forest effect to make your meal burst with flavor. Oven safe up to 500 degrees fahrenheit and no need for seasoning, this cocotte boasts a sleek brass knob and classic design to elevate your kitchen.
