The only reservation I have about this book is the insistence to use only organic foods, but it is easy to substitute regular ordinary food instead. Lots of recipes that are just as suitable for adults as well as the kids. (less)

The section on herbs and spices is useful for cooking for the rest of the family. There are other sections in addition to the recipes that are quite helpful on how to store food, how much babies eat, different food textures, finger foods and snacks, tips on getting toddlers to eat, and what nutrients are in foods.
The recipes are simple and easy to follow. Most of the beginning ones are common sense purees, but as a first time parent trying to make all food from scratch, it is nice to have some guidance. The later toddler recipes look like dishes I would want to share with my kid. Many of the recipes are not things I would have necessarily thought to make for a baby or toddler. There is also an index that is useful if you have a specific ingredient you would like to look up.
So far I've only made the recipes from the first chapter, but I can't wait to make everything in the whole cookbook. (less)
