When he’s not in the kitchen of his acclaimed San Francisco restaurant Che Fico, chef David Nayfeld loves cooking at home with his kids. And now, Nayfeld is sharing his favorite family-friendly recipes in his first cookbook, Dad, What’s for Dinner? For Father’s Day, Nayfeld offers a menu of Italian-inspired favorites for his new book that the whole family can cook together, including crunchy garlic bread, creamy corn and green beans, classic meatball hero sandwiches and custardy banoffee pie for dessert.
