Spoil the awesome dads in your life this Fathers Day with the ultimate collection of Father’s Day recipes. From banging brunches to wicked sarnies and delicious dinners – we spoke with our top dads and here are their selections for a Father's Day menu.

Breakfast Bolognese

There is really something about the way the egg and the rich hearty sauce combine that makes this a great brunch dish. Serve with the best sourdough and you’ve won Dad’s heart.

Beefy Breakfast Burrito

Here we wrap sliced steak and scrambled eggs with avocado, capsicums and feta cheese. For those who like it, add a dollop of hot sauce for the perfect quick and easy breakfast for Dad.

Moroccan Lamb Benedict

For those who want to pull out all the stops for Father’s Day brunch, this brunchy twist on a lamb kofta is a fun take on that café classic that will keep everyone satisfied.

Ultimate BBQ Beef Burger

Burgers are a subjective thing, but few dads will turn this down for lunch – featuring rich beef patties covered in melty cheese and with great sauces, it’s a good excuse to get the barbecue out in winter.

Hop and Hoisin Braised Short Rib Burger

For those dads who are feeling a little highbrow, this award-winning burger takes a little more effort but packs mouthful after mouthful of delicious flavour.

The Best Lamb Wellingtons

All of our dads love these little lamb wellingtons as a special treat. Perfect for lunch with a dollop of chutney and a wee salad on the side.

Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich

A scrumptious sandwich that needs no explanation and very few dads, or anyone in fact, will say no to this Corned Beef Reuben.

Reverse Seared Tomahawk

Everyone's talking about reverse searing - it's the hot new way to cook steak and it yields the most tender results. Give it a go this Sunday and surprise your dad with something delicious.

8 Hour Brisket with Banging Slaw & Smoky Mac ‘n’ Cheese

Perfect for special occasions, the oven does the hard yards here and the result is a truly delicious American style dinner that Dad won’t forget.

Moroccan Lamb with Olive and Lentil Salad

An exotic twist on the classic Kiwi lamb rack and the olive and lentil salad is a hearty and wholesome addition.

Beef Korma Curry Pie

There’s so much to love about this pie – the slow cooked beef, the curry sauce, the buttery pastry – it takes some time to pull together but your dad is worth it.

Herby Italian Meatballs with Primavera Sauce

A high-protein meal that is guaranteed to keep Dad happy – we love this with grilled flatbread or even tossed through fresh pasta.

Hoisin Glazed Lamb Chops

Treat your dad this Fathers Day to an impressive dinner featuring New Zealand’s best lamb chops with a delightful Asian twist.

Herb and Garlic Crusted Leg of Lamb

A firm favourite, this leg of lamb is a holy grail meal for many dads and makes amazing leftovers for the week ahead.

Cheat's Easy Beef Rendang

A true classic curry that has been requested by a number of our top dads. The list of ingredients is short, the prep time too and leaves the oven to do the hard yards.

Pulled Beef'nBeer Tacos

Give the oven something meaningful to do and take a trip to Mexico with these beef tacos. Slow cooked in beer and aromatics, they'll make Dad's armchair travel dreams come true.
