 Great ideas July 29, 2008

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.

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.

I bought this book (with the old purple cover -- Feeding the Whole Family: Whole Foods Recipes for Babies, Young Children and Their Parents) when my girls were babies. They're now 11 and 9, and we still go back to it for certain beloved recipes, especially the beet salad, the one with the greens -- the only way my family can really enjoy beets, and we really enjoy this salad. It is one of the few family cookbooks that has healthy recipes my children actually liked (they like a lot of healthy food, but many family cookbooks have a lot of fat, meat, white flour, and sweets, and feel the need to disguise vegetables). I took the ideas on breaking down a meal to feed parents, toddlers, and infants, and applied them to other foods. I highly recommend this book -- I'm back here because I'm considering getting some copies for family members with young children.

This is now by far my favorite cookbook. Every recipe has turned out with two thumbs up from the family. I wish I had this book when My children were babies so many good ideas for them. I had the carrot cake for my birthday and it was the best darn carrot cake in the world. This alone was worth the price of the book but on top of that there is so much information on eating whole foods. This is one cookbook I read from start to finish and couldn't put down. Hope she writes more :)

I have had this book on my wish list for ages but couldn't justify another whole foods cookbook. I decided to try it after it was updated and after reading the authors essay on how we create picky eaters, I am glad I did. The recipes I have tried have been simple to make and taste delicious.The ingredients called for are easily found. I especially liked the lunch section as I struggle with packing my son a lunch. The book also has a nice section on nutrition that is helpful and informative for those new to whole foods cooking. I recommend this book to anyone looking for delicious meals for their families.
