I have used Annabel Karmel books in the past and I was glad I only got this one out of the library. I figured Annabel was jumping on the baby led weaning band wagon; but no. Or at least if she is, she's missed the point.
There were two things I took inspiration from in here (the tortilla pizza and the quesadillas) but I changed the recipes to make them healthier. That's the alarming thing about this book; so many of the recipes would be high in salt and / or sugar or contain ingredients in them which would be unsuitable for under 1's (e.g. parma ham or honey) but it's not all that obvious that these foods should not be given to kids under 12 months, there is only a comment saying when foods are suitable (which is very few, I counted 19 which included some with added sugar) but no comment saying when they aren't.
Lots of the foods are fried or annoyingly use the grill when oven cooked foods you don't have to watch are easiest with a child and often lower in fat than fried equivalents. Some savoury recipes, e.g. cheese and sweetcorn muffins contain honey! Surely that's not sensible to get kids used to sweet 'savoury' foods?
All in all, really disappointing. What I would expect from AK and this book is a range of recipes suitable from baby led weaners and babies who are first starting to have more 'complicated' finger foods (e.g. 9 months plus) and a genuine consideration of the nutritional content. The recipes I've come up with for my 12 month old are considerably healthier than these.

I have used Annabel's Complete Meal Planner since weaning my little boy but when it came to the next step I wasn't sure how to get him eating when he couldn't hold cutlery yet. I checked out Annabel's other books and this one was the perfect solution. With tons of recipes / ideas on things to cook and prepare that kids can pick up with their hands I found it inspiring and fun. My little boy is yet to refuse anything I have cooked! Some of the dishes look a little complicated but I think I will venture into them as time goes on, they look amazing. I'm sure I was never fed food like this when I was a kid!

I was looking for a finger food book after my 14 month old decided to refuse everything from a spoon. Some of reviews mentioned that most of the food was fried (they're not and you can grill or bake many of things that are fried in the book)and that they were complicated. I didn't find them complicated, some of them take a bit of effort but you make a batch and freeze so saves time in the long run. A great book, full of good ideas of different ways to give your child varied and nutritious foods they can feed themselves.

Some good ideas
I used this along side the baby led weaning cookbook and found the recipes perfect for a growing toddler, and Mum and Dad have to admit to enjoying some of them too.

Great additional recipe book for independant eaters!
I found that my son wanted more independance quite early on in to weaning and so this book was great to start trying him with things like the muffins and fish fingers. Read more
