My favorite cookbook, 2008-12-04
I am an avid book-buyer, with the hopes of using and reading the various books and cookbooks I buy....As you can probably guess, a lot of the time the books and cookbooks end up sitting prettily on a shelf (I have two kids and a job). WELL - this cookbook is actually getting used! The first night I got it I could barely fall asleep because I kept thinking about it. Truly awesome. Oh and the author also has a website where she has videos of a lot of recipes. The little plots are a little corny (and staged) but it's informative to see how the food is made[...]
Highly recommend!

one of my top 3 cookbooks, 2008-09-19
Though I have other nutrition-focused cookbooks, this is the one I use most. The nutritional information is concise and sufficient for a person of average needs. Many of its recipes are incredibly delicious and they utilize a good variety of foods. Also, I love how it incorporates adjustments to include feeding young children.
I live in a small town which has a grocery store with a moderate selection of 'health food' items and I haven't yet had difficulty finding ingredients, with the exception of the sea vegetables. The book's recipes tend to be simple and easy to make. I found it very useful to have a spice grinder for grinding grains and a blender will come in handy as well, especially if you are interested in providing food for a child starting solids.

Pretty good, 2008-09-14
I wanted to like this book. I don't like the idea of making a bunch of baby food purees and I'd rather just feed the baby what I'm eating. But... when I got the book, I read that the author is vegetarian and most of the recipes were veggie with all of that weird stuff that entails. Like eating a bunch of dried seaweed to get the vitamins and minerals us meat-eaters get by eating meat. There were a few meat recipes, but it's sort of too crunchy (a la Laurel's Kitchen) for me. I think I'll be using this more when my kid is older.

Great ideas, 2008-07-29
This cookbook has some really great ideas, and I think I will use it more when my son is eating a more varied & textured diet (7 months now), there aren't a ton of recipes that can be adapted for a baby mainly eating purees. Most of the recipes use basic ingredients, but there are several with ingredients that are harder to find.

Not what I was looking for, 2008-06-16
I returned this cook book. It had recipes that were difficult and hard to find ingredients. I live in medium sized town in the midwest and it suggested buying ingredients at an Asian specialty market. Just not practical for me or my family.
