Biographical Note: Review Quotes: "As a father myself I can attest to the challenge of feeding your kids. In Dad, What's for Dinner? David helps dads (and other parents) everywhere get delicious dinner on the table." --Tom Colicchio, chef and owner of Crafted Hospitality "My god does [Nayfeld] knock it out of the park in his new book Dad, What's for Dinner?. It breezily moves between the delicious-but-functional weeknight necessities (a quick marinated grilled chicken) to the aspirational . . . All the while, he offers flavors that can serve as building blocks to move little ones towards more adventurous eating. One of the most valuable things about this book is the way Nayfeld takes into account the actual lived experience and priorities of so many working parents. Every recipe is classified somewhere between a "meltdown meal" (what you make when you just got home and the kids are screaming they're hungry, like the aforementioned grilled chicken) and "project cooking" (something you can do on an empty Saturday, like his 5-hour ragu) . . . Dad, What's for Dinner?, serves as an affirmation that, yes, feeding your kids is hard, and you're doing a damn good job." --Bon Appétit "I've known David since 2008 when he joined the team at Eleven Madison Park. In the years since, his life has changed . . . A LOT. He's grown into one of America's great chefs, owns one of America's great restaurants, and most important, has become a dad! In this book, he shows us how to bring delicious and gracious hospitality into our homes, and how to care for the biggest VIPs of all: our children." --Will Guidara, restaurateur and New York Times bestselling author of Unreasonable Hospitality "Anyone who has kids knows how hard it can be to get food on the table. David makes it possible to make real, delicious meals (and even include your kids in the process!). In my book, he has cemented himself as an honorary Italian for life." --Giada De Laurentiis "David Nayfeld is one of America's best chefs and one of my favorite human beings. So it's no surprise that this gorgeous and beautifully organized book comes from his kitchen, and his desire for us all to cook and care for each other in the best and most delicious way possible. As a single dad myself, this makes so much sense, from batch-cooking to snack times. Dad, What's for Dinner? gives anyone interested in elevating their food game for their family a huge boost." --Andrew Zimmern "The fact that we get to have some of David's recipes in print feels too good to be true. He somehow finds ways to make indulgent food feel worth it, to make complex flavor profiles feel effortless. He has a consistently unpretentious approach to making food; you can feel his rebellious personality in all his dishes, throwing out any conventional rules. There is a reason why his restaurants are impossible to get into, but always welcoming. Even writing this is making me hungry." --Erin Foster, creator of Nobody Wants This Reading Line: Photographs by Eric Wolfinger; Foreword by Gwyneth Paltrow Publisher Marketing: A BON APPETIT BEST COOKBOOK OF 2025 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. I am a professional chef. I've spent twenty-seven of my forty years in some of the best kitchens in the world. . . . And still, when my daughter, Helena, asks, "Dad, what's for dinner?" it gets me every time. This is a book for dads (and moms, and grandparents, and caregivers, and anyone else who needs to get dinner on the table without cooking the same old thing again). It's a book that believes "kids' food" can, and should, mean more than just buttered noodles or chicken fingers. In its pages, chef David Nayfeld translate his decades of professional expertise into something that all parents can use to become more confident and creative in the kitchen, and better able to care for their toughest customers--their kids. The result is a collection of more than eighty hearty, good-for-you recipes the whole family will love, from Italian Sausage and Broccolini Lasagna to The Best Fricking Meatloaf in the World; from Tomato and Bread Salad (it still counts as a salad!) to Cuppycakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting. Nayfeld's goal is to empower home cooks, giving them the tools, strategies (the wonders of batch-cooking!), and recipes to break a reliance on frozen foods and takeout. It's a book that helps to bring families together at the dinner table and to raise more adventurous eaters. And, most of all, it's a book that answers the all-important question: Dad, what's for dinner? (or lunch, or breakfast, or . . .) Review Citations:
