A memoir about the joys of food and parenting and the wild mélange of the two

Matthew Amster-Burton was a restaurant critic and food writer long before he and his wife, Laurie, had Iris. Now he's a full-time, stay-at-home Dad and his experience with food has changed . . . a little. He's come to realize that kids don't need puree in a jar or special menus at restaurants, and that raising an adventurous eater is about exposure, invention, and patience. He writes of the highs and lows of teaching your child about food—the high of rediscovering how something tastes for the first time through a child's unedited reaction, and the low of thinking you have a precocious vegetable fiend on your hands only to discover that a child's preferences change from day to day (and may take years to include vegetables again). Sharing in his culinary capers is little Iris, a budding gourmand and a zippy critic herself who makes huge sandwiches, gobbles up hot chilis, and even helps around the kitchen sometimes. Hungry Monkey takes food enthusiasts on a new adventure in eating and offers dozens of delicious recipes that "little fingers" can help to make.

I'd read this when your baby is around 4 months old. The early part of this book captures some things I've learned the hard way in getting our baby started on solid food. When do you start? When she's staring at the food you put in your mouth. What do you feed her? The baby-friendly parts of whatever you're eating.

It's certainly flawed, but it's a light read about calm, happy parenting, and the recipes have actually been tested by home cooks. ( )

This was a pretty charming and funny "blog turned book" by a food writer with a hilarious/precocious kid. It mostly made me want to write down everything my kid says (well, once he starts talking, so this is a futuristic want) in the hopes that I can write a charming and funny book about him. The food sounded good although most of it was meaty and alas, did not do my vegetarian household much good. There's a chapter in here about the author being the only man who has to be "snack mom" for his daughter's preschool since he's the only stay at home dad that my husband found pretty amusing. ( )

I love books that reinforce my own prejudices, and this book does so in spades. I love books that star people I know and like. I especially love books that make me laugh and follow my family around to read aloud to them. Amster-Burton strikes all the right notes in this memoir-cookbook hybrid. He's wryly hilarious and sweet without being treacly. His recipes are clear and readable and mostly appetizing, though I remain unconvinced regarding polenta. His loving, warm descriptions of his 4-year-old daughter may come back to haunt him when she's a teenager (Oh. My. God. Dad, how *could* you?) but it will have been worth it to the rest of us. Highly recommended for people who have ever had children or have ever been children. ( )

More of a comedy book than about food, this book has many activities with the adorable toddler Iris and her dad. I laughed a lot, and it was a fun read. There are some interesting recipes included. ( )

This book was totally written for me -- a foodie who is homesick for the Pacific Northwest and planning to start a family soon and incredibly concerned about picky eating, not least because it's tolerated (celebrated!) in my boyfriend's family. I even used to read the author's stuff. Every kid (and parent) is different, of course, but I still found this reassuring overall. And frequently hilarious. Most of the recipes were pretty appealing as well, although I haven't tested any yet. Many of the general parenting experiences/opinions were interesting to read as well. ( )
