 My favorite cookbook December 4, 2008
I am an avid book-buyer, with the hopes of using and reading the various books and cookbooks I buy....As you can probably guess, a lot of the time the books and cookbooks end up sitting prettily on a shelf (I have two kids and a job). WELL - this cookbook is actually getting used! The first night I got it I could barely fall asleep because I kept thinking about it. Truly awesome. Oh and the author also has a website where she has videos of a lot of recipes. The little plots are a little corny (and staged) but it's informative to see how the food is made[...]
Highly recommend!
one of my top 3 cookbooks September 19, 2008
Though I have other nutrition-focused cookbooks, this is the one I use most. The nutritional information is concise and sufficient for a person of average needs. Many of its recipes are incredibly delicious and they utilize a good variety of foods. Also, I love how it incorporates adjustments to include feeding young children.
I live in a small town which has a grocery store with a moderate selection of 'health food' items and I haven't yet had difficulty finding ingredients, with the exception of the sea vegetables. The book's recipes tend to be simple and easy to make. I found it very useful to have a spice grinder for grinding grains and a blender will come in handy as well, especially if you are interested in providing food for a child starting solids.
 Pretty good September 14, 2008

I wanted to like this book. I don't like the idea of making a bunch of baby food purees and I'd rather just feed the baby what I'm eating. But... when I got the book, I read that the author is vegetarian and most of the recipes were veggie with all of that weird stuff that entails. Like eating a bunch of dried seaweed to get the vitamins and minerals us meat-eaters get by eating meat. There were a few meat recipes, but it's sort of too crunchy (a la Laurel's Kitchen) for me. I think I'll be using this more when my kid is older.
 Great ideas July 29, 2008

This cookbook has some really great ideas, and I think I will use it more when my son is eating a more varied & textured diet (7 months now), there aren't a ton of recipes that can be adapted for a baby mainly eating purees. Most of the recipes use basic ingredients, but there are several with ingredients that are harder to find.
 Not what I was looking for June 16, 2008

I returned this cook book. It had recipes that were difficult and hard to find ingredients. I live in medium sized town in the midwest and it suggested buying ingredients at an Asian specialty market. Just not practical for me or my family.
