I'm a toddler dad and casual fan of Japanese food and culture, and I liked this quite well. MAB gets on my nerves now and then, but I think it's just part of his authorial affect - I really appreciate his underlying perspective on parenting, food, and travel.
Nick told me this was a great book, so I gave it a try. A few pages in the author is talking about his daughter Iris, food, Seattle, and it hits me - I've read this author before! Awhile ago I read his book "Hungry Monkey" and found it utterly delightful, which boded well for me enjoying this book. Then, a chapter or two into this book, the author mentions his addiction to a manga series called "Oishinbo A la Carte" - I have the first book of the series waiting on my bedside table! All the forces were aligned to bring me to this book, and for me to fall in love with it. Done and done.

This was so interesting as it was written in 2 hour increments by so many authors who wrote in a public setting one after the other. I wanted to write a chapter, too. More of a read for how a book could be a collective writing and for the experience.

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