Dads want to be in the kitchen too, so Sugar & Olives in Norwalk has a special class just for them. Participants in "Calling All Dads" get to sip wine and sample tasty appetizers while learning to make rosemary flatbread and fava bean hummus, plain and chocolate empanadas with beef, chicken or veggie fillings, mâche salad with lime vinaigrette and a dessert. They'll leave with recipes in hand, too. If you're looking for a Father's Day gift for the chef, consider a set of All-Clad cookware, a few knives from Wüsthof or a bottle of St-Germain, which makes a perfect summer cocktail.

"The St-Germain Cocktail should be your go-to cocktail this summer—it's light, refreshing and has an alluring flavor." Robert Cooper, creator of St-Germain and president of the Cooper Spirits Company
