November 23, 2009: My daughter uses this book for ideas for our 9 month old grandson. There are many suggestions as to age appropriate foods and also some interesting combinations that the baby really likes. This morning she was making a tomato, cauliflower and cheese puree. It has suggested introducing foods like parsnips, papaya, leeks, etc. which he very much enjoys but she never would have thought of (especially since they are not foods his parents "savor"). Some of the suggestions for toddlers look good enough for the entire family to try. If you plan to make your own baby food for whatever reason, I'd suggest considering this book.

September 04, 2009: My husband and I wanted to make our own baby food when we had our first child and I had been looking for a book with great pictures that only used a few ingredients. This book is awesome! the food is so much better than the baby food in the stores. (You aren't scared to try your childs food because you actually know what is in it. Very easy read with recipes I never would have thought of trying. Definitely worth buying and adding to your collection.
