Australia's Christmas is in summer so stories of Santa's sleigh zooming through snowy forests are a faraway fantasy.

Father's Day doesn't have to mean power tools, sixpacks of beer and random golf gifts. I'm much more about the food, so hopefully any fathers in your life are too! Here are some ideas for treating Dad at any time of day: there's breakfast all the way through to a nightcap.
It’s on. That party, the picnic, that “we have to catch up” get together. Yes, you’re looking forward to it – except for one thing. There’s that scary question you have to ask: “What can I bring?” There’s a danger that they won’t say, “Bring a few beers or some wine.” What if they say, “Oh, just a little plate of something”?

Bring-a-plate success is as easy as smart shopping and these summery no-cook solutions that will ensure you’re invited back.
