Because we know the dads in your life just could not need another tie, we’ve combed the bookstore shelves for a few of the most faddish, dad-ish new titles for his upcoming day of appreciation.
Teach Your Old Dog New Tricks with a Hot Dog (and more)
For a cookbook just for him, check out “DAD’S OWN COOK BOOK,” by Bob Sloan. It takes your chef-in the- making from a primer on the basics (i.e. “The Basic Egg”), to using leftovers, to cooking a complete Thanksgiving dinner. (Brownie points: they also devote space to preparing breakfast in bed).
For the pure BBQ-Devotee, consider “HOW TO GRILL,” by Steven Raichlen, the Barbecue Bible Cookbook. It’s a hefty 500 pages of information and photos for novices and pro chefs alike, that celeb-chef Mario Batali calls “the most comprehensive book on grilling ever…”
Alternatively, Play to His Favorites Hobbies, or Simply Celebrate His Very Daddiness
Allow at least his thoughts to journey to the fairway with the just released, “OPEN,” by John Feinstein, a chronicle of the years spent renovating the “chewed- up” Bethpage (N.Y.) Black for the first-ever U.S. Open held on a public golf course– just last year. Or offer him a little “Field of Dreams” redux with Yankee player Paul O’Neill’s new memoir, “ME AND MY DAD.”
For more general inspiration akin to a Father’s Day stocking-stuffer (were that relevant to a holiday in June), consider the “FATHER TO DAUGHTER” and “FATHER TO SON” books, both by Harry H. Harrison, Jr. With pages of simple maxims about fatherhood, they’re perfect little tomes of wisdom and humor.
