 2009-01-06 - Take it with a Grain of Salt...
I could not FULLY appreciate this cookbook because I had to pick and choose around the recipes so as to be careful not to introduce certain "hazardous" foods too soon. The book states WHEN to introduce certain foods, but have different guidelines than what the APA is stating. Maybe because this is a British author? FOr instance, I will not be giving eggs to my baby until around 1 year. Also, some recipes call for butter or berries and other "off limits" foods that I plan to avoid until after 1 yr. So I wasn't able to get a 100 baby purees out of it - but I did like some ideas about what foods are good mixed together (
ex. sweet potatoes and apples). And I liked her tips about freezing and storing baby foods, so not a total loss. Just take this book with a grain of salt and remember she is not a peditrician - so be sure to check with your doctor about when and what to introduce.
 2009-01-03 - Good starting point
I bought this book because I wanted to make my own baby food but didn't know where to start. This book is a good starting point with instructions on everything from basic purees to more complex mixed recipes. There are also simple instruction on how to prepare the foods. I only rated it four stars because I believe some of the recipes are a little complex for an infants palate.
2009-01-02 - If you're looking for a "How To" this is not the book for you
What I liked about this book is it gives recipes and ideas for using meat. Meat purees seemed to be lacking in most baby food books. There are also recipes that go above and beyond the usual sweet potato and banana yada yada yada. As someone who likes to try different foods, I appreciated this. What I don't like is that the author seems to ignore the AAP's guidelines for introducing citrus, tomatoes, cow's milk and berries. Since she is based out of the UK, it may explain the differences. If your child has shown any type of food sensitivity, skip those recipes or modify them to your child's needs.
