Best for babies
This book is the best! I only served home made food to my son. The recipes are easy, healthy and delicious. Every recipe makes multiple servings that can be kept in the freezer. I recommend this to every mother and I gifted one to my friend.
Super like it!!!!
Very informative and handy for the first time mom like me. It has a step by step process on how to make a home made food for my baby. Many Thanks.

Great option for when you’re making your own baby food
it’s ok
There are some good recipes, some not do good. Some you can find on the internet. Not sure if I’d purchase again.
Great Book!
Love all the recipes. Most are easy to make with everyday ingredients. A Must have book if wanting to make homemade baby food.
Great baby food book!
I really like this book and I’m glad that I bought it. So far I have made quite a few of the fruit recipes and frozen them. The book also has some fantastic meal ideas for when baby is older. The only thing I’m not sure about is all of the recipes are for blending the food…and when baby is 9 months etc. they are supposed to be on a different texture than pureed…but I’m sure I can adjust how much I blend it accordingly. Great book for those wanting to make and freeze their own baby food!

great recipies and even my older kids liked the recipies I made from this book.
there are a few ok recipes in it but my toddlers didn’t like them much
All this book is – is cook your fruit or veg for 10 mins and then blend it up and serve. I didn’t need to buy the book to know that. It’s ok, there are a few ok recipes in it but my toddlers didn’t like them much. Not very impressed and I didn’t even open it for my second boy. I wouldn’t have bother to buy it if I’d known. But when you have your baby there it is nice to be reading a recipe so you know your right! I would think there are better baby recipe books out there, I just fed my boys a blended version of what we ate.
Worked a treat for my little boy, defintely gave a wide range of different foods for my baby to try. WOULD TOTALLY RECCOMEND
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
superb.
I didn’t get this book till my baby was over 10 months old, so I’m not sure what I’m about to say will apply to younger babies just starting on solids.I love this book! My baby had been eating table food for a while, but she was stuck in a bit of a rut with pretty much the same foods over and over, in about a 5-day cycle: chicken stew, mac-n-cheese, rice and gravy, spaghetti with meat sauce, etc., with whatever boring steamed veggies on the side.I live in South Louisiana, where we have delicious, flavorful, spicy cuisine. However, 1) it often contains ingredients she shouldn’t have yet, such as shrimp, and 2) I’m afraid it might be too spicy for her! I didn’t know how to provide the blandness of what baby can tolerate, while not deadening her taste buds to new flavors as she grows up (or making her into a picky eater).This book really kicked up both the main and side dishes for her. The dishes are bland enough for young-uns to tolerate, but flavorful enough to excite their taste buds and explore new flavors. Also, they are probably more nutritious than what we’d been feeding her.The book has several sections: a 6-month-and-up, a 7-month-and-up, an 8-month-and-up, a 9-and-up, and a 12-and-up chapter. There are brief blurbs about what to introduce at each stage, and each section has a grid showing a sample meal plan. It’s not extremely thorough, but it is helpful and provides a simple guideline.Here are some sample recipes:6 months and up:–mostly plain fruits and veggies, with good tips on how to prepare them7 months and up:–green rice (rice with fresh greens–very nice!)–squash and pepper risotto–vegetable paella8 months and up:–avocado chicken–chicken with pumpkin–chicken divine9 months and up:–fruity breakfast rice (yum!)–broccoli and cauliflower gratin12 months and up:–fruity frosty shake–nutty choco monkey–nutty wafflesAll the recipes are quite easy to make, believe me. And so delicious! The recipes recommend good ingredients, too, such as brown rice, lots of fruit and veggies, and low-sodium stock. Most of the ingredients are relatively easy to find at the grocery store, and easily substituted if you’re on a budget.The baby really likes the broccoli/cauliflower gratin, the spinach and tomatoes with ricotta, and the chicken tropical (chicken with mangoes). This book really gets baby interested in fruits and veggies, with its interesting, flavorful preparations.Obviously, I cannot speak for parents of babies with severe food allergies. I also cannot speak for the younger babies, since I waited so long to get this book. All I can tell you is, a) delicious, b) easy to prepare, c) my baby loves the recipes.
This book is very concise, telling you what you need to know without rambling on. I haven’t read Super Baby Food, but from what I’ve seen in the reviews that book is all over the place.I’m a chef, so food is important to me. I want my baby to eat good, healthy food, and this book makes it easy. The recipes include foods that I wouldn’t think to give babies (figs, kiwis, parsnips) and some that I can’t say I’ve eaten myself (millet, anyone?).The write-up on the actual blending/storing is a little brief, so here are a few tips that I have learned:-Don’t worry about getting the texture just right as you’re blending. You’ll burn out the motor on the typical household blender if you try to blend something too thick. Add as much water as you need while blending–in addition to sparing your blender’s motor, it will make your mixture easier to pour into ice cube trays. When you go to serve, add rice cereal to thicken as needed.-Most foods can be steamed instead of boiled. This preserves the nutrients even more. Also I use the water from the steaming pot in the blender.-A food mill is great for avocados and kiwi. These foods don’t store well once blended and it takes a lot to fill the blender jar. A small food mill will mash up one kiwi at a time. I bought mine at Babies R Us for $10. The mill is also good for travel.-If you have a neighbor with a baby about the same age, then make double batches and swap.Other reviewers have mentioned that some foods are introduced earlier than recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The publisher is Canadian, so perhaps the recommendations there are slightly different than in the US. If your baby is sensitive to foods or your family has a history of allergies then hold off on citrus, fish, etc.
