editor’s letter ALLGOoUT! f ive years ago, on the eve of my husband’s 47th birthday, I dragged my daughters on an emergency trip to Bass Pro Shops hoping that the gods of gift-giving would lead us to something better than another plaid shirt. In a total panic, with both kids crying to leave the store, I lost all sense of reason and bought Wylie an extra-large propane-powered outdoor deep fryer. He owned a doughnut shop at the time, so this seemed like a fun, if pricey, idea. It was a total bust—he has used the thing two times—but the fryer changed our gift-giving dynamic forever: It sent a message that yard accessories are acceptable birthday presents, and Wylie ran with the idea. He gave me a patio umbrella one year, string lights the next. The rest of the family followed suit: I got lanterns from my parents, lounge chairs from one sister, deck chairs and a hammock from the other sister. Then came the lawn games: giant checkers, cornhole, archery. In retrospect, that dumb, overpriced fryer was the best purchase I ever made—my yard is now a fully functioning party space, and I didn’t have to pay for any of it. Like so many other families, we put our deck and yard to use like never before during the past two years. We entertained outside year-round, huddling around the firepit on frigid nights for holiday appetizers and gathering under tents for cold rainy- day barbecues. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to reclaim our backyard for what it was always meant to be: our summer cookout headquarters. If you have plans to do the same, you’ll find everything you need in this special cookout-themed issue, including more than 90 great recipes and, on page 40, six easy ways to add some magic to your outdoor space. String lights recommended, deep fryers not so much. Maile Carpenter CARPENTER PORTRAIT: TRAVIS HUGGETT. Editor in Chief @maile__fnmag 12 FOOD NETWORK MAGAZINE ● MAY/JUNE 2022
