Father’s Day is a time to show your dad or any other paternal figure in your life just how much you care. Of course, you can write a nice note in a card detailing your appreciation, treat him to lunch or go with a homemade gift you’ll know he’ll enjoy. But these nine Father’s Day gift ideas are for the dad who loves to cook.

Cooking is a passion often passed down from generation to generation. But that doesn’t mean that your dad should still be using his great-grandparent’s cast-iron pan on a regular basis. Save that pan for special occasions and help him refresh his favorite room in the house with a few new grilling tools, luxe pantry staples and cookware.
