Look who’s making dinner! Twenty-one of our favorite writers
and chefs expound upon the joys—and perils—of feeding their
families. Mario Batali’s kids gobble up monkfish liver and foie gras.
Peter Kaminsky’s youngest daughter won’t eat anything at
all. Mark Bittman reveals the four stages of learning to
cook. Stephen King offers tips about what to cook when you
don’t feel like cooking. And Jim Harrison shows how good
food and wine trump expensive cars and houses. This book celebrates those who toil behind the stove, trying
to nourish and please. Their tales are accompanied by more
than sixty family-tested recipes, time-saving tips, and
cookbook recommendations, as well as New Yorker cartoons.
Plus there are interviews with homestyle heroes from all
across America—a fireman in Brooklyn, a football coach in
Atlanta, and a bond trader in Los Angeles, among others. What emerges is a book not just about food but about our
changing families. It offers a newfound community for any
man who proudly dons an apron and inspiration for those who
have yet to pick up the spatula.
