Publishers Text

The dad’s guide to getting dinner on the table; more than 80 unfussy, uncompromising recipes for weeknights and beyond. With a foreword by Gwyneth Paltrow.

This is a book for dads (and moms, and grandparents, and anyone else who needs to get dinner on the table.) It’s a book that believes “kids' food” can mean more than just buttered noodles. Chef David Nayfeld spent decades cooking in some of the best restaurants in the world—including his own—but when his daughter started asking, “Dad, what’s for dinner?” he found himself at a loss. So, he set out to translate his professional expertise into something that all fathers can use to become more confident and creative in the kitchen, and better able to care for their loved ones—and themselves.

The result is this book, a user’s guide to cooking for (and sometimes with) your kids. A collection of more than 80 hearty, healthy recipes the whole family will love, from Joint Custardy French Toast (get it?) to Save Your Ass Grilled Chicken; Tomato and Bread Salad (it still counts as a salad!) to Cuppycakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting.
