Summary: Great recipes but beware of food allergies
Review: My son is 10 months and I have been making recipies from this book since he was 6 months old. I have yet to find a recipe from this book he won't eat. I always do a taste test on everything before I give it to him and everything tastes good too.My only concern is that she introduces foods my doctor has told me NOT to give my son so early. For example, in the 6-9 month secion, she introduces citrus which I've been told not to give yet. She also introduces spinach, which my son loved, but my doctor told me is dangerous due to nitrate/nitrite conversion which can cause problems in children under 1. So, I would say this is a great recipe book, but make sure you understand what you can and cannot feed your baby before making some of these recipes.

Summary: My cooking bible
Review: Read the reviews below about the cautions for this book (certain foods introduced too early, etc.) Then, go ahead and buy this book. I became the family cook for the first time and have methodically worked my way through almost recipe in the book. The recipes are easy to follow and make, give nutritional background, are included in a weekly meal planner, and more importantly, are almost all good. There are a few that bombed, but on the whole, I don't know how I would have survived my baby's first 16 months without this book. It will give you the confidence to NOT buy processed baby food and will give you the confidence to introduce complicated foods to your child before you might otherwise (I'm talking about flavors and combinations here, not the too-early introduction of milk, etc). My child can be picky, but others are amazed at the variety of foods she is willing to eat. Buy this book and her companion book, The Healthy Baby Meal Planner, also.
