I love this book because it gives me the opportunity to know exactly what's going into my baby's diet. Not only does it provide recipes which use grocery items that me and the husband already buy, but it also includes informative nutrition information about the phytonutrients in the food.
However, be warned that the cheese sauce calls for milk, which due to its high number of proteins can cause an allergic reaction in children under the age of 2. A way around this is to follow the rec...more

We got this book from my sister-in-law, and she said that she loved it. I'm very glad that we had it during my son's first year. First, I should say that it's been very helpful when we weren't sure what to put together for our little one. He's now 14 mos. and we have stuck to a diet of non-processed foods partly with the help of this book.

I perused this book quite a bit before my son was born and before he really started to eat solids, but I never actually followed any of the recipes.

This book would definitely be good for those who have trouble thinking up combinations on their own. One thing the book doesn't mention is the AAP's recommendation that you should not prepare carrots, turnips, spinach and a few ot...more

This book makes me feel like a gourmet baby chef. I love making food for Maeli and this book has a lot of useful recipes and tips. The pictures are beautiful and it has helped me stay motivated to feed her homemade food. My only complaint is that some of the recipes have ingredients I wouldn’t introduce at as young of an age as the author does.

Love it! It was a great first step at some ideas for baby food making! This book, in addition to my Beaba Cook, are perfect for the first time parent to get started with creating home made baby food!

Good recipes and ideas, but I found most of the same stuff online. Online even offered more information. But there was helpful info in this book as well.

I am making my own baby food- had to buy this book because I loved the pictures and all the recipes sounded so good. I have made a few of the recipes and thought maybe everyone should have baby food for dinner!

I have one of Annabel Karmel's cookbooks and have really enjoyed it. I hope I can get some healthier (and cheaper!) alternatives to the baby food sold in jars. Wish me luck!

I decided to be adventerous and make some of my own babyfood. It's really very easy and I'm starting to get my freezer stocked up. Hooray for me!
