Amster-Burton's reflection on the wild joys of food and parenting - and the marvelous melange of the two - takes food enthusiasts on a new adventure in eating (with dozens of delicious recipes). The author believes that developing a child's taste for uncommon produce, meats, fish, herbs, and spices lies in early exposure to their flavors and being sure that the child sees Mom and Dad relishing a wide spectrum of foods. One by one, he debunks widely held opinions about feeding toddlers, such as withholding salt, sushi, or spices. Any parent frustrated by a child's picky eating will find some usefully novel approaches to patient cultivation of adventuresome palates. "Since becoming the proud father of a little girl, I've found myself quickly morphing into Bill Cosby - minus the sweaters. One of my greatest fears is imagining my daughter insisting on nothing but crustless grilled cheese sandwiches and 'chicken' McNuggets. Hungry Monkey goes a long way to allaying that concern. I finished the last page and immediately set about making her Thai Shrimp Curry. A very timely and excellent book." — Anthony Bourdain, author of Kitchen Confidential. "Matthew Amster-Burton is smart, funny, a terrific writer, a great cook and on track to be voted father-of-the-year every year for the next decade, at least. How lucky for Iris, a.k.a. Hungry Monkey, that she landed in the Amster-Burton family and how really lucky for us that we can tag along on their adventures - and learn how to make pretzels and pad Thai, too." — Dorie Greenspan, author of Baking: From My Home to Yours |
