Healthy good food 25 July 2010
Format:Paperback
This book contains recipes for the beginning of weaning until 4 years old. I bought it when my daughter was already two so I never used the first section (although simple one-fruit purees don't really require a recipe! I took off one star for those ones) but the rest is very good and healthy. Most of the meals are vegetable and fruit based which is a refreshing change from the meat based recipes of Annabel Karmel. This also means that the food is cheaper!

It is written for an American audience so the measurements are in cups, but they are easy to buy in any cook shop.

Everything I've made has been simple, nutritious and tasty. There are some tips on how to adapt the recipes for adult meals so you can kill two birds with one stone. The ingredients are readily available in my supermarket and a lot of things can be made with staple storecupboard items. I made tasty yoghurt pancakes this morning and they went down a treat with both my daughter and hubby! you can easily adapt the recipes to your taste too by adding extra ingredients or by substituting. As a mum who is often rushed for time this book is a godsend as it doesn't take ages to make anything. Who always has time to make teeny weeny individual shepherd's pies or time to play with the food to make an appetising picture, just to have your toddler push it away?!

I really like the way this book looks and feels, although don't buy if you want photos as there aren't any.

Shame 25 April 2010
Format:Paperback
A shame to see yet another baby cookbook that doesn't take account of Dept of Health / World Health Organisation recommendations that babies are exclusively breastfed until 6 months. Babies need nothing but milk until around 6 months.

Easy and informative 30 April 2006
By Colleen S. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book along with Baby Blender Food, and I really like this one the best. It has practical information RE: safe food handling, the meaning behind nutritional and organic terms on product packaging, suggestions for stocking your pantry, and ideas about how to incorporate meals for the family from the recipes for the baby. It's not rocket science, but sometimes I get caught up in the baby food process and don't think about how to modify some of the ingredients for my own meal. She also has a helpful key that lists vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free recipe options. The recipes are pretty simple, and I've found that it's easy and fun to make food for my son. It also feels really good to know exactly what's going into his food. I like the layout of the book, and I appreciate the information in it. Another review mentioned that she doesn't outline food hazards like nitrates in the body of the recipes, but if you read the book from the beginning, she has pretty comprehensive explanations of what is safe to prepare and when it's safe to prepare it.

A must-have! 8 May 2006
By Gabriel's mom - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I borrowed this book from my local library, to test a few of the recipes. I am very impressed! Every recipe that I've tried has turned out absolutely delicious! The book begins with an informative section about the meanings behind the buzz word "organic," and the recipes are neatly organized according to age (in case one needs a guideline). The author has even included little labels that point out which recipes are vegan, vegetarian, and allergy friendly.

As a very picky mom with little patience for recipes that take too long/don't turn out, I highly recommend this book and have purchased my own copy. The recipes are not only delicious, they are easy and pretty foolproof! And nothing can top the feeling I get when watching my little boy hungrily gulp down a meal I prepared just for him....eager for each spoonfull. The recipes aren't just yummy for babies either......I made some of the recipes for my teenage sisters, and they ate every last bite! If you purchase this book, you won't be disappointed!

Raising a future "foodie" 6 Mar 2006
By K. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've had a chance to make zucchini and butternut squash purees for my 6 month-old and so far so good! I like that the recipies give you an option for how to cook each recipie, for example, you can either steam or microwave zucchini. Also, you can use a blender or food processer for most dishes. The book also gives really clear instructions for saving food for later. I put the squash in ice cube trays; it is so easy to pop a "cube" into the microwave. If you have an automatic ice maker and don't have any ice cube trays on hand, I highly recommend buying silicone trays. You can even buy pink ones from Sur La Table (www.surlatable.com). Cubes come out cleanly with no fragments left in the tray. Get this cookbook if you want a little work on the weekend with the rest of the week as easy as opening a jar! The only down side I can think of is she is not as explicit about foods to avoid because of allergies or nitrates (spinach, carrots, etc.) on the recipe pages.
