Highly Recommend!
I purchased this book as it was recommended to me by a family friend and I honestly LOVE how thorough it is and how detailed it is when it comes to starting your baby on solids. I have finished reading the book and I am now excited to start this journey with my 6-month-old daughter. Before reading this book I was unsure of where and how to start this journey, but now I am feeling more confident with this book’s guidelines. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing this book!
Very informative. Would recommend
Had lots of content and good summary pages. Definitely a good buy and great for parents new to introducing solids. Useful for a long time
Awesome book to have!
Bought it for my daughter. She loves it!
This book is excellent! The author is very well versed in baby …
This book is excellent! The author is very well versed in baby food preparation and offers step-by-step instructions on how to prepare homemade baby food that is free of unmessasary preservatives and chemical additives. There is a bit of page-flippimg required as some instructions require you to gather information from various pages but overall very much worth the extra bit of effort.
Love this book
Love this book! It also gives a 3 or 4 month menu of foods and when to introduce them. I bought the silicone baby food freezer tray at the same time and have a pretty decent stockpile of food ready to go in the freezer for my little guy.
Great book
Money well spent. Great book, easy recipes and very easily described. Recommended. you wont regret. I would suggest always have two books from different author to maximize your knowledge in everyway. Two authorâs ideas, knowledge and recipes can fill in the gaps in your knowledge.

I bought it as part of a baby gift. As I browsed through it, I thought it was very well done.
Five Stars
Love this book! So helpful for a FTM looking to start food!
I bought a few baby food cookbooks, but this one is by far the most helpful!! It’s particularly helpful for the beginners who aren’t sure where or how to even get started. I wish I had bought this book first!It has a lot of helpful tools like what flavors go together well (definitely a must!), which foods to buy organic, and also which foods you can buy fresh or frozen. It also outlines in a long timeline exactly how you can make a ton of purees all in a few hours.It has an excellent guide on how to prepare each of the type of fruits, vegetables, and grains individually to use as “building blocks”. I found this particularly helpful when it comes to being able to mix and match all the different purees to make various flavor combinations. A lot of other baby food cookbooks just give you one-off fancy recipes. But this book is more like a tool kit that that helps you build multiple recipes in an easy way!This is definitely a must buy for anyone wanting to get started on making your own baby food!
Revise varias referencias antes de comprarlo y no me equivoque. El libro trae cosas muy interesantes como menú para 3 meses y varias recetas para combinar sabores, tips de compra y guÃa para preparación de alimentos. Me parece muy sencillo y práctico. De seguro lo recomendarÃa.
I love this book! It shows you how to make a 3 month supply of 18 different purees in 3 one hour sessions. We timed them and they do take roughly one hour. We did not find that we could manage the grains – the food processor did not really chop up the rice, for example – but these we just purchased.It also includes recipes for several additional purees and it has a section on what purees you can mix together that would taste good.Without this I think making our own baby food would be pretty intimidating and time consuming but with it, it was pretty easy and did not take long.The equipment you need:-Steamer (could get away with steamer bags if you had a lot of them but it would take longer)-food processor-one ounce ice cube trays (they say 6 trays that fit 15 cubes but we had an 8 pack and used them all and more)-things to cut and peel vegetables with-freezer storage-spoon and spatula to fill ice cube traysThat’s it!
This is my third baby food book, and by far the best. For your reference, the two others were Fast & Fresh Baby Food Cookbook: 120 Ridiculously Simple and Naturally Wholesome Baby Food Recipes and The Best Homemade Baby Food on the Planet: Know What Goes Into Every Bite with More Than 200 of the Most Deliciously Nutritious Homemade Baby Food Recipes. I was hesitant purchasing this at first, because I did not need to make ahead 3 months of baby food, but this book is amazing even if you don’t need it.I used the ‘The Best Homemade Baby Food’ book for my first child 5 years ago, and was pretty happy with it. However, when I got this one, I was shocked that baby foods can be so diverse. Cooking method is mostly the same for all baby food books. Cut, steam and blend. What makes this book so unique, is that it introduces so many variety of vegetables, fruits, grains and legumes. Some of them I didn’t even notice they existed. I love the fact that I can introduce all kinds of food out there to my 6 month old, and hopefully he’ll develop a habit of trying a variety of healthy foods later in life too. My 5 year old daughter is still a very picky eater and she has a hard time trying new food. Sometimes I wonder if that could have been changed at least a little if I had this book when she was a baby. Probably not, but still…On top of variety, this book also has ‘Food Compatibility Chart’. You can pair and mix your cubes of babyfood to give them thousands of variety for their palate. This will be especially good when the baby rejects one flavor but you still want to give it to him. Mix it with something he likes in the chart, and he’ll like it better than one flavor alone (such as kale or broccoli). (I haven’t tried this myself though, as I only had this book for 4-5 weeks. My son liked everything I made so far, except sweet peas. I am planning to mix it with something else and try again soon.)The only downside is, when to introduce which is not specified by month. If you are starting solids at 6 months, I think you can just follow sample schedule in the book (which is also amazing by the way). But because I started solids at 5 months, I referenced ‘The Best Homemade Baby Food’ book for introducing which food when. (I actually lost my copy but found that it was only $2.99 in kindle, so I bought it again.) I do recommend supplementing with another book if you are confused with the timing of introduction. Or maybe you can google when to introduce what.This book is made beautifully, and I really recommend it. I read it everyday just because the book is so pretty, and it has very good information in picking and purchasing the right food. Although I didn’t follow the make ahead schedule, I’m sure it would come in very handy for those who need it too. Recommended cooking tools is also helpful, as I love the silicone trays described here, opposed to expensive baby food freezing trays.
I thought the book was very well laid out, however it was not complete in that it did not provide a measure of how many trays you would need to make each food item to freeze this made the process way longer for me it took days to complete. I found the savings in food adequate but it took a long time to do the sections even the first 3 months worth of food. All the prepping and blending and pouring does not fit into a 3 hour block as the book states. However it is filled with nutritionl content and valuable information on the foods you prepare for your baby. The graphs and grocery lists were fabulous and I appreciated the simplicity of the layout.
