Rating  - My favorite baby food book!
This book is the best of the three baby food books that I have. It is very well organized and informative. My son is eight months now, but I introduced solids kind of late and so he has just had cereal, avocado, banana, and apple; I have not yet made any of the more "complicated" (still seem easy!) dishes that this book has to offer, but for feeding a young infant, this is really good. I would definitely check with your pediatrician if you have any concern about introducing a particular food at a particular age. My doc said to just look at what the jarred stuff is for the different stages and follow that, but there are so many great first foods that they don't sell in jars (like avocado, which is excellent for brain development!). There are some things in here I know I wouldn't make until he is much older than what the book says. (Ex: orange juice for a 6 month old, whole milk in some of the 9 month recipies, nuts in some of the 12 month) but overall I think this book is excellent. There are so many recipies to choose from that you can easily skip any that have foods you aren't ready to introduce. The book also doesn't discuss nitrates (present in many veggies, such as carrots, spinach, beets and turnips), which I have read so much conflicting information on, but it is something that one needs to look into and make their own decisions about or discuss with their child's doctor. Other than these things, I think this book is really great. Lots of nice, simple recipies for young babies and interesting ones for older ones. I like how beside telling you how to cook different foods, it gives you some sort of information about each one, like what vitamins they are high in, if they are easily digested, etc. I also like that it has, with some of the recipies, tips for using the "baby food" in a "big kid" recipe. I didn't make baby food for my daughter, who is now 4 and still is a fantastic eater, but I wish I had instead of giving her the jarred stuff. It's easy and I feel great giving my little guy food that I know is fresh and good. There's so much more variety when you make your own baby food, too. And it's definitely cheaper. If you're going to buy one book on making baby food, I'd definitely recommend this as the one. GREAT BOOK
Rating - The best baby food book
I love this book!!! I bought "First Meals" and got about 4 other books on baby food from a local library. This is the best book. The ingredient lists are very short and you can get everything easily at your local grocery stores. My freezer is now full of baby food just because I just cannot stop trying all the recipes. I tasted some and they are delicious. It also has a sample menu (BF, Lunch, Dinner, snakcs) for 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 months. It helps me figure out how much I should serve. Buy this book and this is all you need to make baby food.
Rating - LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
I have 3 babyfood cookbooks and this one is absolutely my FAVORITE! I believe I have tried just about all of the recipes and my now 15 month old daughter loved them and still loves them. The recipes are healthy and tasty!!!
Rating  - A good book!
I like this book. Being a working mom, I always opt for easy way to prepare healthy meals for my family. This book provides me with not just a lot of simple, healthy and yummy recipes but also tips for preparing and storing food. It's such a joy to see my little one enjoying his food. However, there is one thing I would like to bring up is (and I agreed with the other reviewer) about the timing of introducing certain ingredients. You may not want to follow exactly what the author recommended.
