Matthew Amster-Burton's New Cookbook-Memoir, 'Hungry Monkey'
SE contributor Matthew Amster-Burton has a new book out called Hungry Monkey about eating grown-up foods with his five-year-old daughter, Iris. From the book's introduction:
Hungry Monkey is the book I wish someone had handed me before Iris was born so I would have known that breastfeeding is challenging (even for dads), that there are two simple rules to take a lot of the stress out of feeding kids, and that it's OK to feed a baby sushi and spicy enchiladas. Most important, I would have been reassured that having kids doesn't require dumbing down your menu: If you love to eat, a new baby presents an opportunity to have more fun with food than ever before in your life.
Listen to this NPR interview with Amster-Burton, where the little monkey herself, Iris, also jumps in to join her dad.

As a new dad with a four-month-old who is just about ready to munch on more than her mom's uh...anyway, I purchased this on my Kindle and have not been able to put it down. The stories are funny and easy to relate to. I can't wait to try the recipes with my little one :-)

I wholly agree with this. The only real difference between my food and my son's is my son's is cut up smaller. He's almost two now, but I've been putting what I eat in the food processor since he was seven or eight months old.
