The options are almost limitless when it comes to cooking-themed gifts. Below are some of my tried and tested favourites. And you never know, as a thank you you might receive some delicious treats.

‘BBQ King’ Personalised Denim Apron 

A great gift for dads that love to heat up the BBQ on a sunny day and grill some yummy meals. This ‘BBQ King’ denim apron will be monogramed with the receiver’s initials. Making it an extra special gift for the head barbecue chef. It has four pocket compartments, which are great for holding all BBQ essentials and utensils.

Your Personalised Barbecue Cookbook

This is one of my personal favourites – it’s a truly useful book to own. The personalised cookbook allows you to customise the title, cover image, and personal note (with a picture) at the front of the book. The best part though is being able to customise the recipes included in the cookbook. Select 36 recipes (out of 3,000) carefully created by professional chefs and home economists.

Personalised Father’s Day Chilli Gift Box and Sauces

If you want to add a kick to your fathers cooking, this chilli gift box is perfect. It includes three hot chilli goodies, a hot chili and tomato sauce, a tomato spice mix combined with morocco spices and hot chilli and smoked garlic infused oil. These lovingly crafter products come in a beautiful wooden box that can be personalised by adding a name to the top of the box.
