Customer Reviews

Informative book, good gift

I got this book as a gift for my friend who is a first-time mom. I read the introduction, which was very informative, and gave great tips on food preparation, product selection and storage of your home-made baby food. My friend was thrilled with the book and said the recipes were easy to follow and she was happy to be able to feed her baby food without added salt and preservatives.

Fun and Easy

What an innovative way to take advantage of fresh food and have it for the baby as they start their journey of life. Simple recipes and no-fuss methods make this a time saver, too. Well presented. You can tell all these recipes were tried before the book came out. And it's a money saver as well.

Wonderful

This book is the best book that I got! The recipes are extremely easy. I was very skeptical of making my own baby food, but this book makes it easy to make up a whole bunch of different foods and then freeze them and pull whatever you are going to feed them the night before. Plus, this book offers suggestitons of things to make that you can't find in baby food sold commercially so you can offer your baby different foods at this age.

"The Basic Baby Food Cookbook" by Julianne Hood offers concerned parents wanting the very best, healthiest, freshest, flavorful, yet inexpensive nutrition for their infant or toddler a series of do-it-yourself, step-by-step instructions for making baby food in their own home kitchen. After explaining just how to get started with making baby food, "The Basic Baby Food Cookbook" offers an especially useful (and user friendly) chapter on how to steam, process, strain and freeze. The recipes themselves are then organized around age groupings: Four to Six Month; Six to Ten Months; and Ten to Twenty Months. "The Basic Baby Food Cookbook" is further enhanced with sections on Menu Planning and 'Tips for Travel'. From Banana Cream of Rice Cereal; Mango Yogurt; and Butternut Squash Barley; to Peas-n-Carrots Cottage Cheese; Scrambled Egg with Diced Tofu; and Ham Mac-n-Cheese, "The Basic Baby Food Cookbook" offers 'kid friendly' dishes that are easy to prepare and so completely superior to anything coming out of a Gerber's bottle from the grocery store!

Great Cookbook for Beginner or Pro

Amazingly well written; simple concise directions, and no elaborate equipment needed. All the recipes I've tried so far taste great. Both of my daughters' children love the food and the girls love making quality baby food at a fraction of store bought prices.
