Book Reviews of The Petit Appetit Cookbook: Easy, Organic Recipes to Nurture Your Baby and Toddler
Book Review: You don't have to be completely organic
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't afford all organic food right now, so I just buy the ordinary stuff which works just fine. I really enjoy using this book. Her directions for the food prep, with different options are helpful when you don't have much time to devote to the process. The recipes encourage me to not be afraid to let my baby try new things. I hope that by trying out a new recipe every few days, this will help my baby not become as big of a picky eater as her dad! Only issue: watch out for allergies. Read up on what not to feed your baby somewhere else, that incorporate that into your meal plans. Book Review: Great book, just watch some of food recommendations
Summary: 4 Stars
I first used this book with my first son. I made quite a few recipes and happily bought little to no store baby food. Everything is easy. Instructions are easy. I'm now using it again with my second son. It's been a great help and I love the recipes for older children as the are good for the whole family.
The negative. Some recipes include ingredients that based on other sources should not be served to children until later. I'm prety strict with these things so I don't follow all the book's guidance. Example I waited on eggs and dairy until after 1. I also limit the cookies and cakes but the book has a few more recipes for these type items than I thought was needed. But again, I'm pretty strict with these things.
Book Review: Best baby cookbook ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first baby cookbook I ever purchased. My little girl is now 2 years old and I still use the cookbook. I make meals and snacks for her and myself using the book. The delicious recipes are just the bonus to this great book. The information about food and children was especially beneficial. If anyone I know is having a baby I get them this book. Book Review: Easy basic recipies; organic focus
Summary: 5 Stars
Provides the recipes to take your baby through the puree stage and beyond. No baby could possibly eat 50 or 100 different purees; this cookbook gives a realistic number, including the basics (e.g., pears, sweet potatoes) as well as some combos I would not have thought of myself (e.g., black beans and plain yogurt to make baby bean dip). I like the fact that there are recipes to suit the different eating stages of toddlers, so the cookbook will grow with your child. Some of the (low-sugar) cookie recipes sound yummy even to me!!Book Review: WONDERFUL!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this book in the mail today and it is by far the best baby food book I have seen! The recipes are simple, healthy, and sometimes very creative!
The book also has a very simple layout, which makes searching for the right age range much easier than other popular books.
I made the Baby Biscotti tonight. I expect that my 8 month son will love them, because I sure did! They were really good!
I highly recommend this book. It's the best purchase I have ever made!
