Product Description |
|
Babies grow more rapidly in their first year than at any other time in their lives, so how you feed your newborn will be one of the most important decisions you make for your new baby. Making your own baby food is not only more economical than buying commercial brands, it also assures that your child consumes only the freshest, top-quality ingredients. British television personality and children's nutrition expert Annabel Karmel's essential collection of best-ever purees grants new parents their wish: one hundred quick and easy recipes that will make for a healthy and happy baby. From first tastes and weaning, right through to meals for older babies, all the recipes are suitable for children aged six months and older. And with all these fruit and vegetable favorites, and innovative fish, meat, and chicken purees, the dishes are so tasty you will want to eat them yourself! In addition to easy and delicious recipes, Top 100 Baby Purees also includes information on: - Weaning your baby and transitioning to solid foods
- Food allergies
- Time-saving food preparation tips
- Freezing and reheating your homemade baby food
- Tricks on finding the hidden nutrition in everyday foods
Featuring a preface by Dr. Michel Cohen, New York pediatrician and author of The New Basics: A-to-Z Baby & Child Care for the Modern Parent |

Excellent Recipes - My Son Loves It All |
My sisters each have 2 children and none of them LIKE to eat healthy food. I have witnessed more meal time battles than I ever cared to. So when my husband and I had our first child this year, I was determined that we'd do whatever we could to avoid raising a picky eater.
My son is almost six months old (doctor said it was okay to start him on solid food at 4 1/2 months). He has tried everything in the age appropriate section and most of the items in the 6-7 months section and he loves them! I can't shovel the food in fast enough. He even loves the fish and vegetables with cheese sauce.
Note to people who are concerned about the cow's milk: Ms. Karmel does state that cow's milk by itself should not be given to an infant, but that it has been shown to be okay to use in cooking other foods. If you're still leery about that, keep in mind that most of the recipes don't use cow's milk.
I always try everything myself before I give it to my son and the recipes actually taste really good. In fact, we all love Cinderella's pumpkin (I've made it as a soup).
I'm really excited to get to try the recipes for older kids too - they look fun and healthy. My favorite part is that I'm not trying to "sneak" anything into my baby's food. He's just learning that healthy food actually tastes good.
Thank you Annabel Karmel! |

Great recipies, but very time consumeing |
|
The recipes were good, but they required a lot of prep time...much of which with a new little one in the house, I didn't have! I use it a lot more now that she is older and I have more time! |

Wonderful, Easy-to-Use Resource |
My 7-month-old started on "Stage 1" solid foods at 4 months, but they can be kind of watery. Making food homemade is not only fun, but easy,and you can test out different flavor combinations without having to throw away food (fruit purees can be used in dessert recipes for you, for example).
My baby loves everything I've made and really enjoys homemade peas pureed over the yucky, army-green store bought peas! |

Love this book! First time mom |
|
I am a new mom and wanted to try out making baby food. This book shows the basics (carrot puree) all the way up to more exotic foods. I have to say making your own food is so easy and so much cheaper! AND I am not a cook - ask my husband! |
