Matthew Amster-Burton's New Cookbook-Memoir, 'Hungry Monkey'

20090526-hungrymonkey.jpgSE 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.
