Summary: Too Complicated
Review: I was looking for a book on preparing homemade baby food that was easy to read, straight forward and had simple recipes. This isn't it!I was very disappointed in this book. The chapters are not well organized and the recipes are far from simple. I found myself getting lost in the pages as well the ingredient lists. The recipes were unrealistic for our family. They are time consuming and the ingredients are not things we usually purchase (ie Lamb). The diary in the middle of the book which documents the feeding of their child from 6 months to 2 years old is completely out of place and a waste of space. Overall the book is not 'user friendly' and I would not waste my money on it.I would recommend "Mommy Made and Daddy too!" as a more pratical resource.

Summary: I don't recommend this unless your child will eat anything
Review: I was so disappointed with this book. When I flipped to the recipe section, there really wasn't anything my children would eat in there. Stelline, sturgeon, "arabian stew", carrot raita, bulgur pilaf, asparagus omelette? Who eats this? I wouldn't even make these recipes for myself! There was also a heavy indian flair (curried foods) through the recipes. I'm sorry, but this just isn't for kids. And then there's the 50 pages of diary about her daughter's life in the middle of the book. How does this fit in?I was looking for a book that would provide quick, easy to fix, nutritious meals that my kids would eat. I don't have time to shop in specialty stores for hard-to-find items. This would be a good book for a stay at home parent who has time on their hands to do all the specialty shopping. But for working parents who are looking for a quick, easy meal to make with items on the pantry shelf, this is not it.

Summary: Practical, Helpful Advice on Feeding Infants
Review: Of all my baby feeding books, this one is the one I kept going back to. Hard to find ingredients? I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. Rice, eggs, chicken, fruit, vegetables, plain yogurt, canned tomatoes? These are all things readily available. The recipes are super easy, and most important, healthy. I know what I'm talking about as an avid cookbook collector with 100+ cookbooks, the recipes don't get much easier than this. And don't involve any processed food. Why introduce junk food to kids any sooner than need be? The sample menus and the detailed summary of what foods to introduce at what months is worth the price of the book alone. The easy fruit custard that takes about 2 minutes to make was a simple way to introduce something sweet to my infant without processed sugar and involved mixing canned baby food with a couple other things. As a working mom, it was homemade, fast and easy. This is not some health-nut type of cookbook, but rather healthy and simple. Even those who have hectic lives and eat out more than they make stuff will be able to quickly prepare these recipes without too much involvement and hassle. This is a book that moms will come back to over and over again. I agree with one review that the food diary about her daughter could have been left out.

Summary: I returned this book!
Review: The recipes in the book are very interesting and a good change from the bland food usually given to babies. I am Asian and I eat a lot of spicy food. This book has given me a way to introduce my baby to the kind of food we eat at home, like curries for example.

Summary: The Baby Cookbook, Tasty and Nutritious Meals for the Whole
Review: This book is awful. Just about every recipe requires shopping at a specialty store for ingredients. Also a good portion of the book is taken up with the diary of the author's daughters first 2 years of eating which wasn't very informative. If you are looking for simple, typical supermarket ingredient recipes look someplace else!
