I am a petite mama that loves to cook! I could just feed people all day long and I'd be very content. With that said, you can imagine my excitement once our little girl was ready to add solids into her life. I researched and researched, and thought I'd add a couple of baby food cookbooks to the cookbook shelf for some new ideas. I went out to the bookstore to check them out in person, and boy was I disappointed.
I couldn't find one that wasn't just a picture book, and one that offered good advice as to the why's and how's. I found it frustrating that the doctors, etc, just kind of told you to start feeding your baby without offering much guidance, when everything up to that point felt so regimented. I just wanted a sort of plan that left freedom but also offered guidance. In the end I bought I book that I wasn't too thrilled about, but gave me some new ideas that I still use. But, a recent search on Amazon.com led me to a recently published book that is outstanding!! If only it was around 5 months ago! I love it, it offers guidance, advice, tips, recipes, and answers all the questions I had when learning about making my own baby food that I spent hours researching answers for on the web.
This is the only baby food cookbook I'd recommend, and I highly recommend it at that!
