Make-Ahead Baby Food Cookbook: Meal Plans and Recipes for Every Stage

Loved the is book! I like how its a good mix between knowledge and practical recipies for all stages. I was looking for something beyond the basi recipies like purees and soinach with scrambled eggs, and this book was it! Bery useful to have meal plans with gorcery list pre made

This is a good book if you are making baby food on your own. Very informative and gives you all the information about when to start giving your baby food.

I used this book to feed my baby, and I can't say enough good things about it! I lived the stages, and it made starting solids so much less intimidating. I appreciate that the author is a dietician. I knew I wanted to make my own baby food, and this made it so much easier. The meal plans are so helpful and take the effort out of introducing allergens and new foods, and so on. The grocery lists are helpful as well. I will say that I think it made more food than my baby would go through before it gets too old in the freezer, but maybe my kid didn't eat much as a baby. A lot of the recipes I love eating myself, like broccoli cheese muffins, salmon patties, and ginger garlic meatballs. It's actually a go-to cookbook for several things, even though my daughter is 2 1/2 now. I think the approach of giving babies a lot of flavors worked well, because my toddler now is a great eater! She got a really great start from this book.

I really like the simple recipes in this book for slowly ramping up from first introducing solids to eating table foods with the family. However I am a bit annoyed by the "shopping list" pages that do not include ALL of the recipes, just the ones from the suggested meal plan for that stage. I wish they had noted the bonus recipes and their ingredients on the list too; for example, 7 of the 20 recipes in stage 1 are not on the shopping list, but they are some of the first recipes in the book! So be aware you do have to pay close attention if you plan to make ALL the recipes instead of just following the suggested meal plan.

Great resource for first time baby food makers. I was starting to stress on how to start feeding and making baby food for my baby. This book made it simple. It gives you a simple grocery list with each feeding stage, recipes, and a food introduction schedule.

If I could give this book 10 stars I would! Let me just preface this by sharing a little backstory: 6 years ago I tried Baby Led Weaning with my first child, it was all the rage and despite it being a complete nightmare and disaster I stuck to it. My kid didn’t eat anything until after 1 years old all he did was throw the food on the floor. And now he’s the pickiest eater ever! This time around I said, let me try this other method. And I’m so glad I did. This book has simple easy to prepare recipes. My baby loves all of them and is such a great eater. Can you believe she’s eating curry at 8 months old? She loves all her veggies and has eaten every recipe in this book so far from stage 1 to stage 2. It takes me a week of cooking a few recipes each day to prepare food that last up to 3 months. I love how easy this is to do and how much better it is than buying babyfood at the store that has been sitting on a shelf for months with god knows what preservatives and ingredients. If you’re starting weaning, run and get this book! It has been such a joy! Nothing better than feeding your baby fresh healthy food and seeing them eat it all up.

Very informative about the food and baby stages. Good read

A lot of the recipes are kind of a little ridiculous, it will teach you how to make a fruit purée or vegetable purée which I feel like is kind of self-explanatory as it’s a one ingredient recipe. I’ll be honest my 10 month old has not really liked any of the recipes so far and we end up throwing them out. He’s liked one recipe so far, but I had to modify it as he did not like it the way it was. However, the recipe is I’ve tried are relatively simple and easy to make

This book is fantastic! My only regret is not buying it earlier. Really enjoyed the fact that I has a shopping list and meal plan suggestions, baby enjoyed the food very much.

I bought this for my "work wife" and her fella as a baby shower gift, being a chef i thought it would be a great chefs gift. Having flicked through this book and reading some of the recipies, i can tell its WELL worth the price. It even has clear instructions and development stages...so you know what age to start the next food journey for your baby. I dont have kids, but if i did, even tho im a chef, i would buy this in a heart beat.... If you're expecting a baby and want to ensure they eat only the best things but have no clue about cooking, this will be worth its weight in gold for you!! 5⭐️

idées pour les purées de bébé mais aussi pour les repas des plus grands

Great book!
