Description

Making nutritious, homemade baby food has never been so easy! Baby food doesn't have to come in jars, and making your own at home is not difficult. Baby food is strained, puréed or mashed adult food - just a different version of the food you prepare for yourself. Here are three good reasons to make baby food at home: 1. Knowing what's in it, therefore ensuring healthy and wholesome meals. 2. Tailoring the texture to your baby's preferences. 3. Shaping baby's tastes and helping him/her learn what fresh foods taste like. Whether choosing to make all baby's food at home, or just some of it, the blender is a great way to offer new flavors in a baby-friendly texture. Once a child begins to eat table food, there is always an occasion for a fruit smoothie or a nutritious blended dip. Here's a sampling of the deliciously easy recipes: - Six Months and Older: Peach and Pear Bananarama, Melon Madness, Zucchini and Nectarines, Roasted Vegetable Purée - Eight Months and Older: Vegetable Paella, Humus for Beginners, Chicken with Red Peppers and Corn, Beefy Broccoli - Nine Months and Older: Lemon Raspberry Yogurt, Over the Top Applesauce, Spinach and Tomatoes with Ricotta, Fisherman's Pie - Twelve Months and Older: Orange Banana Smoothie, Very Berry Pears, Broccoli and Cauliflower Melt, Veggie Cream Sauce All the recipes in Blender Baby Food are accompanied by suggested age guidelines. Also included are lots of great tips for making baby food, storage and freezing guidelines as well as the appropriate way to thaw and reheat food. Plus, none of the recipes calls for any of the salt, sugar, starches or fillers found in many commercially prepared baby foods. Blender Baby Food helps parents give their baby the best nutritional advantage.

DANGEROUS RECIPES

by jlohnheiser from on 2010-09-05
Though this book has some interesting recipes, the author clearly knows very little about infant nutrition. Many of the recipes called for citrus and honey along with a few other foods that are NOT to be given to children under the age of 1 under any circumstances. If you plan on purchasing this book make sure you know all of the rules to making homemade baby food inside and out so that you can omit the recipes that are unacceptable.

Great recipes for babies

by Dee from Cairo, Egypt on 2010-08-19
I've been struggling with feeding my baby girl for some time, but after I tried this book, it got so much easier. The book is divided into months, each month a new food group is being introduced, that way you can avoid allergies. The recipes in this book are so delicious I'm sure your baby won't be able to resist them. They are also very healthy and nutritious. Beside each recipe, the author wrote tips and information about the recipe, and even tips for how to adapt the recipe for older kids. I think this book is amazing, I'm keeping it for my future babies!

Great recipes!

by Mini Genius from TN on 2010-08-08
I'm super excited about this book. It has great recipes for making simple one ingredient foods/purees for babies all the way up to recipes for several items of food. I love this book because it gives me a chance to introduce different foods as well as different combinations of foods that are not available in jar food. I'm also looking forward to introducing my son to foods that he might not try if I didn't have this book. This book also has great tips and instructions for just preparing and feeding any foods to a baby. I also like how the book is laid out according to ages. Plus, all the recipes give nutritional information. I love this book. It hasn't left my counter since I got it!

Meals made simple and easy

by Jenna A. Wondrash from Rota, Spain on 2010-08-01
I was so excited when I received this as a gift. As a first time mom of twins I have no idea what to do, what to feed them and at what age should I start introducing certain foods. This book has different sections for the different ages. It is very easy to follow and very informative. I highly recommend this book at all moms. The meals are simple, easy and healthy. A great alternative to jarred food and cheaper which is always a plus!

great book!

by luvmygirls from on 2010-05-11
I really enjoyed this book! I'm not really a cook, so I need instructions for everything!! This book has very basic information as well as more complex recipes. There was also information about different fruits and veggies like the nutrients and proper handling and storage.

Some idea, but not sure I would buy new

by C. Blum from San Francisco, CA United States on 2010-08-05
I am one of those fairly picky about what I put in toddler moms. I try to cook 90% of what he eats from scratch and make it as healthy, organic etc as possible. There were some decent idea in here, and if I bought used for a couple bucks i would say it was a good deal. The recipes were a bit gimicky - making everything child size and mostly finger foods.

Perfect for libraries catering to parents

by Midwest Book Review from Oregon, WI USA on 2010-05-16
Top 100 Finger Foods offers a fine guide to finger foods that young children can enjoy, offering options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert and creating recipes for both babies and older children. From Cajun Chicken Skewers with Mango Salsa to Beefy Hand Pies, these should appeal to all ages and are perfect for libraries catering to parents.

too many ingredients

by E. carney from arizona on 2010-05-01
There were a lot of recipes, which was nice. I was looking for a book with simple and easy recipes and finger food ideas. The recipes included in this book were a bit intricate and had too many ingredients. They were not simple or quick in my opinion.

Every toddler goes through the stage where they want nothing but "O"-shaped cereal. The challenge for parents is getting kids to ask for fruit salad instead of cupcakes. Faced with this seemingly impossible task with her own child, Jennifer Carden has created The Toddler Caf , a guide to making mealtime with children fun and interactive. It offers simple, creative ways for kids to identify with their food, like saying tuna salad is what mermaids eat, or making Minty Pea Pops in ice cube trays.

Great ideas

by R. Perry from on 2010-03-01
I thought this was a great book. It has fun ideas and helps me think more "out of the box" when it comes to cooking for my toddler. However, I thought it was kind of hard to follow...where the recipe started and ended on the page, etc. I would have organized it differently, but that's no reason not to get it. I highly recommend it.

Who eats this?

by N. Dane from on 2010-02-12
I'm sorry but if I wouldn't eat the food in the book, then I'm certainly not going to make it for my child! Pea Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream sounds so unappetizing!

Great toddler cookbook - can't believe it's out of print

by Ryan's Mom from Massapequa, NY United States on 2010-02-12
Great cookbook with colorful pictures that make you want to make the recipes. The minty pea pops are delish. The PB & J french toast is also good but I've also seen that done by Rachel Ray. Pick this one up before they're gone.

yummy food for whole family

by R. Sass from Folsom, CA on 2009-12-29
I love to cook, and I own numerous childrens cookbooks. This one is one of my favorites. The color photo's are amazing, recipes are very tasty, and easy to make. My family loves the tofu dipping recipe the most. Most of the ingredients called for in the book, are likely to be on hand in your home. The only downside to this book is that the nutritional information is not provided. This is a great cookbook to add parents collection.

Not for picky eaters!

by Chris Johnson from Bakersfield, CA on 2009-12-29
The book claims to make ways "to feed even the pickiest eater" but the majority of these foods have an appearance that most picky eaters wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. The authors definition of picky eater must be the most mildest form of the term. Many of the "healthy" food recipes listed are made up mostly of sweets and dessert/snack food with a hint of healthy food.

Description

When feeding babies, parents need to think outside the box—or the jar. Infants develop more rapidly in the first two years than they will in any other period of their lives. Over processed foods containing chemicals, preservatives, pesticide residue, and genetically engineered ingredients cannot nourish a growing baby. Infants need fresh, natural foods just like the rest of us. Eating well can be easy, fun, and inexpensive. "Simply Natural Baby Food" gives you practical recipes to prepare whole foods that won’t tie you to the kitchen. Best of all, your children will learn good eating habits that will last a lifetime. There is a chapter for each stage of a baby’s eating development from first solid foods to fun recipes for toddlers. Tips are interspersed throughout the book to give the reader advice on cutting preparation time, helping baby to gain feeding independence, and getting maximum nutrition into baby’s meals. The book contains detailed recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, desserts, and beverages, including infant cereals, whole-grain crackers, sugar-free sweets, and non-diary nut and seed milks. Parents will appreciate the imaginative ways vegetables are incorporated into meals. For the child with allergies, many wheat-free, diary-free, and egg-free recipes have been included. "Simply Natural Baby Food" promotes a plant-based diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, sea vegetables, nuts and seeds are emphasized. There are recipes containing dairy products, fish, and poultry because, eaten in moderation, these foods contain important nutrients, but vegetarian and vegan alternatives are provided for virtually every recipe. Find out how easy it is to prepare your own baby food. You'll save money and give your child the best possible start.

Good healthy recipes for baby

by E. Abrams from Philadelphia, PA on 2009-09-29
I really like this cookbook and appreciate the recipes and ideas for feeding a baby that don't involve just opening a box or jar of pre-made food from a factory. Some of the recipes are a little too complicated or time-consuming for me (i.e. if it takes 45 min to make rice cereal, you might rather just stick to oatmeal), but it is a good source of ideas. I have mostly just steamed and mashed veggies and fruits when I have had an infant to feed. This has good recipes of that kind, but also more ambitious kinds of healthy foods that kids will like.

Awesome book

by M. Critzer from on 2009-01-26
I found this book to be wonderful! If you are the kind of person who is willing to put in a little bit of work and don't want your child to start solids with foods full of preservatives, this is the book for you. It is very helpful in understanding what a baby needs and expanding the palate of the whole family. I would recommend this book to anyone!

great baby cookbook

by Kimberly Subacz from on 2009-01-19
This is my most used baby cookbook. I've got 3 or 4, but this is my favorite. I still make the apple-oat pancakes for my son who's now almost 3. I will say some of the ingredients are hard to come by, but the recipes are pretty good. I used this more often with my first born when I had more time. Now that I've got 2 little ones I don't cook as often for them, but when I do, it's this book I turn to.

not bad

by Guy Turf from Bangkok Thailand on 2008-11-22
I had bought this book because someone wrote here, it was too macrobiotic, but I dont agree. Some recipes needs improvement, but this booklet is a good start for healthy babyfood

Handy book that gives you a base to build on

Handy book that gives you a base to build on for making safe homemade baby food. Simple, nutritious recipes that anyone can make.

Excellent book!

The mom who received the book said it was her favorite gift. : )

Baby food made easy.

by Barbra from on 2010-08-09
This is a great beginners book for anyone starting out making baby food. This is my first child and this book has given me great success cooking for my baby. I will never buy jarred food again. It is so easy to do it yourself.

Great guidelines for baby's first solids

by Saskia from on 2010-07-11
This book contains great guidelines for how to prepare first foods for your baby. I say "guidelines" because I followed my pediatrician's recommendations on what to introduce when instead of the book's. I used the ages as guidelines as well, as we started our guy on solids at 3 mos, so I just moved along accordingly. What I appreciated most were the tips for getting the most nutritionally out of the foods (ie baking sweet potatoes in the skin instead of peeling them first, same with apples & pears) and information on what nutritional value each food provides a rapidly growing babe. Also useful information on how long each type of food keeps, both in the fridge & freezer. As Jr. gets older, there are also recipes for when you start eating together as a family that are suitable with regards to salt, sugar, fat, etc. for the little one and also yummy (with a little seasoning added...) for mom & dad. As an avid home-chef, this book really provided me with some guidance for how to translate our family's love of cooking & food into something our son can participate in as well. (Added bonus - the photos are beautifully styled, secretly what drew me to the book in the first place!)

Almost everything in here is good

by Pascale Belt from on 2010-05-18
I have made serveral recipes in here and almost all are good. The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are super good and really easy to make. The quinoa chili, the broccoli soup, the quinoa salad, tofu breakfast buritos all yummy. I like the suggestions for wraps, I have been eating lots of wraps for lunch. There are hints for substitution in the dessert chapter, which was nice because I did not have any maple syrup and there is a chart in the back which gives the calorie/nutrient content of the recipes. It is not completely vegetarian, but I would say it is 90%. I would definatly recommend this book!!

Best whole grain bread recipe I've ever tried!

by R. Youngers from Seattle, WA USA on 2010-03-06
This is a really fun book to read, for not only the recipes but also the child feeding information. I really enjoy the author's conversational way of sharing information. But what really earns it five stars is the whole grain bread recipe! I love to bake bread and this is the best recipe I've ever used. The bread comes out just as soft and moist as the wonderful Great Harvest bakery's Honey Wheat bread that I love so much. Another recipe that has become a family favorite is the Three Sisters Stew. I highly recommend this book!

Great for new and not-so-new parents alike.

by Marisa Miller from on 2009-12-21
More than just recipes, the author has great tips on getting your kids to eat veggies, what rules should be enforced at the dinner table, general advice on healthy eating, etc. I bought a copy for a friend who just had her second boy since I didn't know what she could possibly need that she didn't already have (other than diapers). It contains advice on things you don't necessarily get figured out after having your first child (or subsequent children, for that matter).The only difficulty I found is in finding some of the more exotic ingredients; I wish she would list substitutes. I live in Austin, a wonderful place for finding anything vegan/organic/generally-out-there-stuff and even I can't seem to find brown rice vinegar! I've checked Central Market, Whole Foods, and Natural Grocers...they're stumped. I guess I'll have to settle for the white rice variety.

Not just for families!

by BethanyW from Austin, TX United States on 2009-01-05
Don't skip over this book just because you don't have kids! I got this book as a gift 5 years ago and it is definitely the most well-used cookbook in my kitchen. Lots of tasty one-dish meals and good leftovers. I like to make something on Sunday and stretch it through the week, and I come back over and over to certain recipes like Red Lentil Soup and Red Bean and Quinoa Chili. And the Luscious Beet Salad with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds has converted me and multiple friends from beet-haters to beet-lovers! I also find that the recipes are very easily adaptable so you can substitute or add what you have on hand, and that the tips, techniques and ingredients in the book have generally contributed to me becoming a better and healthier cook.

Love this book

by D. Rice from Indiana on 2007-10-27
Quit feeding your children fast food. These recipies are great and great tasting, my kids love them.

Meh...

by joel from NNE on 2010-08-20
Okay, I guess. A bit embarrassed to have needed a book to tell me "Mash banana, feed to baby", but hey, I'm new at this.Gripes: Author discusses high nitrite foods to be avoided before 8 months. It should read nitrates. Nitrates are reduced to nitrite in the gut. The cited veggies are not going to be high in nitrite. And how about a cited reference for where the list of high nitrate veggies can be found?"Mrs. Barnes's Fish Sticks", to be cooked from 1 lb of fish fillet, has the little symbol letting you know it's vegetarian. They're made of fish. Other fish-containing recipes do not have the symbol, so it's not just one of those "vegetarians eat fish" misunderstandings. And why is the "vegetarian" symbol a cow's head anyhow?Must Apple-speak infect everything? Great that your book won an iParenting award. Take the prize money and go back to inorganic chem 101. Otherwise, I really like the jacket.

if you have the time to make food, it's for you...

by M. Johnson from mke on 2010-08-13
has some interesting recipes but can be timing consuming. but making homemade baby food is. plan on sharing this with my friends who are new moms.

My favorite kid cook book!

by A. Peterson from Dallas, TX on 2010-06-17
Our daughter would eat most of the recipes and of most importantly they are healthy!

Recipes are pretty good

by H.A.B from Minnesota on 2010-06-03
I haven't used the book a lot- but the recipes I have used were good. They have a nice index of things the baby should eat and at what ages. It's a pretty handy book.

Easy to make baby's food

by M. Weiby from Brr cold, Minnesota on 2010-04-23
Use your common sense when you read any baby food recipe books. Obviously avoid egg whites, honey, citrus for under 12 months old.This book has a lot of great ideas - and helps guide you by age (i.e. cantalope is fine for 6-9). Very easy to navigate, very helpful. Love this book! Wish I hadn't wasted my time/money on other books before getting this.

Description

Terrific for my toddler

by Austin from Toronto on 2010-05-09
This book is great. As soon as my daughter started to eat solid food I began experimenting with recipes from this book. Now that we all dinner together, I can honestly say this book has come in super duper handy. I'm the chef at our house so I'm able to cook food for both her and my wife and I at the same time, with the same food - instead of messing up the kitchen with menu of different items. Our favourite is Jonah's mac and cheese. I've used some of the recipes strictly to wow my adult friends when I'm throwing a dinner party. I would definitely recommend this book. Clearly.

Great for adults too!

by Lisa Bailey from Seattle, WA United States on 2009-12-03
This book is handy, even for adults!1) Almost every child's recipe has a way to adapt it to make it more interesting for adults. The pureed broccoli mixed with parmesan cheese over pasta is great. 2) Every recipe has an interesting nutrition section as well as a complete breakdown of all the nutritional facts. I never thought I'd find myself reading about vitamin B12, folic acid, fiber, different layer of grain, etc. 3) Chef Jordan has a preparation tip for every recipe. Try roasting yams with the skin to develop the sugars, etc. 4) All the recipes are manageable. Meaning they don't require 30 different ingredients and 30 steps. They make use of standard basics you'd have in your pantry as well as encouraging you to run to the store to buy the one or two things you don't have.I go back and back to this cookbook for our son as well as our own meals!

Wish I had this book when my kids were babies!

by S. Jackson from Canada on 2009-09-27
I bought this book for my sister, who wants to make her own baby food. I compared it to the other baby cookbooks on the market and this one grabbed me for a few reasons: it has a nice balance of clear, concise basic information and beautiful, easy to prepare fresh recipes. I particularly like the lists of pesticide absorption in produce and a section on food prep safety that I think is vitally important for a beginner cook, especially one cooking for an infant. I love the use of unconventional food pairings for variety and the inclusion of healthy grains/seeds like quinoa and millet. If I had this book when my kids were babies I could have been feeding them lovely dishes like quinoa-banana puree and cabbage, fennel, apple puree. Sigh...at least my niece will be well fed! Before I give it to my sister, I might have to steal the recipes for the chocolate banana sandwiches and the white bean and fennel puree.

bought it after checking it out from the library

by Glenda Mendello from Tampa, FL on 2009-02-26
Book was well put together. All the nutritional information and tips are listed with each recipe page so you do not have to page through to figure anything out.

Good to have but not for solo use

by J. Blakeman from Ohio on 2008-12-12
I have read and used many babyfood cookbooks and cookbooks that claim to cook for the whole family - baby included. Most recipes have a suggestion at the bottom of how to turn the baby food into an adult food. The one's I tried were a stretch! The baby food itself though is tasty. They use a wide variety of easily found ingredients including fresh herbs. I liked the comments by the chef and by a nutritionist for each recipe. Most of the purees turned out too watery when I followed the recipe quantity so I adapted accordingly. All in all, a good book to have in addition to another.
