But those of us in the food-obsessed world know better. For us, it is Father’s Day, the day after the summer solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere receives sunlight at the most direct angle of the year, and it’s always shining on Dad, who is on the patio or in the backyard, happily manning the grill. > Dad cooking on his special day? Oh yes. You can help, of course, with simple, tempting side dishes from Martha Stewart and America’s Test Kitchen that can be thrown on the barbecue alongside his meaty masterpieces or made in the kitchen, away from that shining sun.
