A comprehensive food guide for families, from pregnancy through early parenthood
Adam Shaw is a Leiths-trained chef and the founder of At Dad's Table, a platform dedicated to creating family-friendly recipes. He specializes in fun and positive recipes for pregnancy, weaning, and family meals. Shaw is a father of two, with another child expected in April 2022, and has a background in global business, having lived in South America, Switzerland, and Singapore. His culinary journey began with a passion for experimenting in the kitchen, which he further honed by training at the Leiths School of Food and Wine in London starting in 2016.
Shaw's inspiration for At Dad's Table stemmed from the lack of engaging advice on pregnancy nutrition. His debut cookbook, How to Grow Your Family, published in March 2022, features over 120 recipes designed to guide families from pregnancy through early parenthood. Shaw also engages in public speaking, recipe creation, and collaborations with leading global brands.
Some of the most popular recipes from Adam Shaw's cookbook How to Grow Your Family include:
- Vegetable Purees: These are designed for weaning babies, focusing on nutritious and easy-to-digest ingredients.
- Family-Friendly Meals: Recipes that cater to the entire family, emphasizing healthy ingredients and simple preparation methods.
- Budget-Friendly Options: Shaw includes recipes that are not only healthy but also economical, making them accessible for families.
- Pregnancy Nutrition Recipes: Specific dishes that support nutritional needs during pregnancy, ensuring both mother and baby receive essential nutrients.
The cookbook aims to provide a comprehensive guide for families, from pregnancy through early parenthood, with over 120 recipes that are both delicious and practical for everyday cooking.
