Do you know what a "raspberry" is? Not the little red fruit! I'm talking about a tongue out, spit spray in a fine mist. Especially charming when the perpetrator has a mouth full of food.
After a week or so of being on the receiving end of Gerber Organic and Earth's Best airbrushing, I decided No More jar food and began making all meals for my infant son. Armed with this book, I discovered that making baby food is EASY, and darned if it isn't DELICIOUS! So much better than jarred, and God's honest: My son stopped spitting immediately.
After making the applesauce purees blended with blueberries, or mango, or dried apricot, even dried prunes - now when I see applesauce recipes that call for sugar, I can't understand why. The chicken-sweetpotato-apple blend is one of my son's favorites, and the halibut in cheese sauce is fantastic!
This is a terrific book, and I've made almost every recipe. If you see it, pounce!

Most pediatricians would probably not agree with her about introducing a child to strawberries and corn in their first year, but this book has quite a few good, basic recipes for any mother or father who wants to give their child something better than that funny looking goo on the store shelves.
Great recipes and easy to read! must have!
A great little recipe book for baby food. The recipes are very versitile. I like that one recipe can feed the whole family. For example, mini-minestrone can be pureed for a baby, chopped for older babies and toddlers, or put in veggie broth to make a soup for adults. Most recipes can be frozen. Some recipes use seasonsings like leeks or cinnamon, making it easier to transition from baby purees to adult food. I use this books a lot. Homemade baby food tastes MUCH better than store-bought. Use this book for simple, one ingredient purees as well as baby versions of adult food. Highly recommended!
