Dear Reader,

As some of us are spending more time cooking at home to avoid high restaurant bills, we can help save money in a number of ways. It’s certainly a lot cheaper to buy Charlie Trotter’s new cookbook than eat at one of his restaurants. We’ll even give you one of his top recipes for free. In fact, many of our cookbook reviews include recipes you can try yourself without spending a penny.

On Novusvinum, our wine and spirits site, we provide numerous cocktail recipes, including how to make the perfect margarita. For a healthier, all-natural alternative, try our recipe for the Partida margarita made with agave nectar. In addition, we offer top 10 wine, spirit and beer lists that can assist you, including our top 10 wines under $10, top 10 summer wines, and top 10 Father’s Day wines.

If Dad is hard to shop for, read our Father’s Day Gift Guide. Buying him an illy Espresso Machine could save him money at coffee shops. Don’t forget to consult our choices of the Best Outdoor Dining Restaurants Near You to take Dad out for a memorable meal, or follow esteemed restaurant writer John Mariani’s recommendation for Greek food in Manhattan at Kefi.

On Qualiteas, our tea site, we provide a time-tested recipe for perfect iced tea, a review of LUPICIA Fresh tea, and top tea tips that can save you green. Speaking of green, can green tea save you on doctor’s bills? We want to improve your health along with your wealth, so check out our reviews of healthy new products like Sunkist natural smoothies.  We’ve also got the health benefits of lemongrass and other foods you may want to add to your diet.

There’s plenty more we have for you online, including June’s culinary events calendar, restaurant ratings, chocolates, gourmet foods, kitchenware, and our blog, but we also want to hear from you. Post a comment on our forum, or review a restaurant or hotel on our site for our millions of visitors to read. And don’t forget to visit us on Facebook and Twitter.

Happy Father’s Day!
