Riassunto

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—so when his daughter started asking, “Dad, what’s for dinner?” 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, good-for-you recipes the whole family will love, from Italian Sausage and Broccolini Lasagna to The Best Fricking Meatloaf in the World; Tomato and Bread Salad (it still counts as a salad!) to Cuppycakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting.
This is a book that empowers home cooks, giving them the tools, strategies (the wonders of batch cooking!), and recipes to break reliance on frozen foods and delivery. It’s a book for bringing families together at the dinner table and for raising more adventurous eaters. And, most of all, it’s a book that answers that all-important question: Dad, what’s for dinner? (or lunch, or breakfast, or . . .)
