Hungry Monkey by Matthew Amster-Burton

A memoir on the wild joys of food and parenting and the marvelous melange of the two

Amster-Burton is equal parts Mario Batali, Ray Romano, Dr. Spock of toddler cuisine, and Mr. Spock of toddler logic. He's a national and intergalactic culinary and literary treasure. -- Steven Shaw, author of Turning the Tables How lucky for Iris 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 YoursThis charming, funny book is full of great ideas for family meals. In a world of culinary pandering to kids, where vegetables in disguise pass for cuisine, Amster-Burton gets the recipe right.--Neal Pollack, author ofAlternadad

With its incisive wit and hilarious stories about Iris, Hungry Monkey made me want to have a child-- just so I could start feeding her. -- Shauna James Ahern, author of Gluten-Free GirlHungry Monkeyreads so well you won't be able to put it down.except when overcome by a need to rush to your kitchen and execute one or another of his winning recipes. -- Paula Wolfert, author of The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen

Amster-Burton cast some sort of enchantment over me as I read about his all-too-real-life culinary adventures with his daughter. The proof? I actually found myself thinking: if Matthew were my dad, I don't think I'd mind being a little girl. or even a sock monkey. if I got my share of every meal. -- John Thorne, author of Outlaw Cook and Mouth Wide Open
