The Instant Pot Baby Food Cookbook: Wholesome Recipes That Cook Up Fast - in Any Brand of Electric Pressure Cooker
Use your Instant Pot—or other electric pressure cooker or multi-cooker—to make fresh and flavorful, safe and natural, fast and convenient foods for your baby!
Parents everywhere are turning to do-it-yourself baby food making. They do so to ensure that the food they feed their children is all-natural and free of additives.They do it because, in recent years, pediatricians and dietitians have been recommending that a baby's diet—and especially a toddler's diet—feature a wide variety of ingredients, well beyond what you can buy in jars at the supermarket. And, nothing to sneeze at, they do it to save money—sometimes lots of money.
How do they find the time? It isn't always easy. Enter the wildly popular Instant Pot, along with other brands of electric pressure cooker, the perfect solution for time-crunched moms and dads. Pressure cooking is skyrocketing in popularity in large part because of its speed. You can cook up a batch of baby purees, fruit sauces, or cereals in a matter of minutes. Consider how long some classic ingredients in baby foods, such as potatoes, apples, and squash, would take to cook up on a stove top or in an oven. Now reduce that time to a fraction of what it was and you can see why pressure cooking is the ideal method for making baby foods yourself.
No less an expert than Barbara Schieving, the world's most widely read blogger on pressure cooking (her blog is called Pressure Cooking Today), author of the best-selling The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook, and a mom and recent grandmother herself, delivers here more than 50 tasty and good-looking recipes that will make you feel good about how you are feeding your kids—and will make them smile with delight at mealtime.
With take-it-to-the-bank guidance on how to get the most from your cooker, plus loads of ideas on how to make and store big batches that will freeze for later use, this is a trustworthy kitchen companion parents will turn to again and again.

I got this book sort of as a "let's just see if it gives me any ideas" (we don't, and won't, have kids, so a baby cookbook may seem a little weird, but given that we have many nieces and nephews and a few more on the way, it seemed like maybe a good idea to check it out, so we can make stuff for them from time to time. Now, I'm so excited that I did.
An added bonus to this book is that many dog food treats you can make from home call for a jar of baby food, and this way you can make your own with bare minimum preservatives.
Now for the reason I was excited...this book is like a little cheat sheet for so many of the "not just for baby" foods, specifically all the grains and legumes. It's often very time consuming to go back and forth through different websites to figure out the best way to do any of those, and even then there is still some trial and error. For me, personally (we have the 6QT IP), the instructions on those all came out perfectly...super helpful.

I am reviewing this book for Barbara Schieving, Quarto Publishing and NetGalley who gave me a copy of their book for an honest review.
If my kids were small again I would be turning to this book to make homemade nutrious food for them. The inclusion of the pressure cooker makes it much quicker.
Obviously I haven't made any of the recipes but I have looked at several in detal and the instructions seem clear and easy to follow.
