About the Book
For many families, the dinner table can be a battleground, particularly when navigating sensory processing needs, strict preferences, or restrictive diets. Cooking for Lily offers a compassionate, real-life look into how one father successfully bridged this gap. By stepping out of the "eat what is served" mindset and inviting his daughter into the kitchen to measure, stir, and explore, he discovered that the kitchen can be an incredibly powerful learning and bonding space.
