Good Starter Book for Homemade Baby Food

I came across this book while visiting with friends who kept this book handy on their kitchen counter. Over the course of two weeks I was able to browse and review the book. I found it to be a good collection of basic recipes for babies and toddlers. Other reviewers stated it was basic, redundant, etc. Not a bad thing, really-- I am ordering it now as a source for ideas and no nonsense recipes. For any parent who wants to feed their baby something homemade, but worries that they will have sufficient time or creativity--this book is a perfect start. Note: I will also be purchasing "Mommy Made" as a companion, as I felt that MM takes baby cooking to a more sophisticated, original level that Everything was lacking.

The best baby reference book ever!!!

This book is a must for all first time mothers and fathers. It gives detailed information on how to feed your baby from birth to toddler with excellent examples and food product information. My husband and I especially found the alternatives to junk food section very helpful. We want to feed our daughter healthy food, and now we know the healthy altenatives to junk food. Also, this book gives examples on how to pack healthy lunches and snacks. Bravo!!!

great recipes, good reference

I recommend this book. It has all the basic stuff about feeding and nutrition as well as great, simple recipes, time line for when you should intreduce new foods to your baby and other useful hints.
