Marinated Bocconcini

Bocconcini, or fresh mozzarella, comes in different sizes. Large balls can be quartered, while tiny balls aren't a good choice for this recipe. To serve, let come to room temperature to liquefy the oil; drain and serve with small skewers or forks for spearing.

Beer-Battered Corn Dogs

To serve this fairground treat as a fun appetizer, cut the hotdogs into four or six pieces and serve with ballpark mustard as a dip. You can find nitrate-free hotdogs in the organic section of the grocery store or at specialty food shops. You will need about 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick wooden skewers, cut in 6-inch (15 cm) lengths.

Chocolate Fondue

Choose fruit that's easy to hold as you dip slices into this luscious mixture. Apples, pears, strawberries and pineapple are ideal. Of course, the Mini Almond Cakes are perfect for this. Even though the menu is hands only, small skewers or toothpicks will make dipping easier and neater. The chocolate will stay soft enough for dipping for up to an hour; if it begins to set, microwave it at high for 15 to 20 seconds.

Mixed Speducci - An Italian Version of Souvlaki

Speducci is an Italian traditional meal originating from the Aruzzo region of Italy. Traditionally, Speducci is made with lamb meat cut into small chunks and cubed for inserting into wooden skewers. However, you can choose any type of meat (or vegetable) to build your own unique Speducci, just remember to marinate your choice meat and vegetables overnight for best results. 

This would be a great dish to prepare for dad on Father's Day to bring home a taste of Italy and wow him on his special day!
