Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great for toddlers.
Review: This book is setup in an easy to read fashion. The chapters are divided into mealtimes (breakfast, dinner, etc.) Joohee Muromcew, the author, does give a lot of useful information throughout. She gives some meal plan ideas, food to pack when traveling, how to shop with/without children and much more.

If you want to know how to make beginning food for babies you really don't need to spend your money here. Basically add some lemon juice to cooked veggies and puree. She does say you can puree any of the recipes, but I don't agree. Many of the recipes include eggs, milk, cheese and other no-no's for young babies. That reminds me, you really need to know what foods your child can have and when, because she doesn't give any information on the age at which these recipes can be started.

Now, with that said, your baby will grow older one day and begin eating non-pureed food items. Some days you may have steak on your plate and you just can't feed that to your little one yet. If that is the case, you can reach for your trusty book. She does have a lot of wonderful recipes for toddlers. They introduce many new flavors, which you may not have thought of. There are child versions of palak paneer, japanese egg custard, chicken curry and peanut sesame noodles. The sweet treats are much less sugary than we're used to, but toddlers still love them. Some recipes call for hard to find items, but they can be substituted with what you do have.

Overall, I would say that this book is a good resource to have on hand.
