Book Reviews of Superfoods: For Babies and Children
Book Review: The BEST cookbook!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this cookbook!
It starts out with purees and moves up to small bites and eventually to full fledge meals. Every recipe is healthy and tasty! You won't find boring bland foods here! She has curry recipes, thai curry, chicken and rice. And, she even has recipes for the vegetarian eater.
It seems she has a recipe for what I usually cook anyway. But, hers have less spice. My husband is from India so curries and rice dishes are the norm. But, with all the complex spices my son has a rough time of it. He has no problem with these. He just gulps them down.
He's six months old and eating avacados. I would have never tried this before. I don't know why, just wouldn't have thought about it. I think other recipes, like the mini vegetable burgers would be great for the young eater too. Because they are soft enough to chew. You just have to watch and cut in small pieces.
I would recommend this to everyone!
Book Review: Excellent nutrition info
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books I've read on infant /child nutrition. While many of the recipes are probably not as easy as she makes them seem (I can't imagine taking the time to arrange fruit on a plate to resemble a fish while my toddler is screaming because he wants to eat NOW) there is so much information on general nutrition and healthy eating habits. The book is arranged by stages of development and each stage contains a sample weekly meal plan to make the transition easier.
And while there is a slight bias towards organic foods, home cooking & vegetarianism, the author never makes the reader feel guilty about not living up to "Super Mom" status. Instead, she applauds every effort a parent makes to raise healthy children
The book itself is beautiful; the large color photos are enticing. I only wish it was spiral bound so it would lay flat.
Book Review: Lifesaver
Summary: 5 Stars
With my first child I bought the usual baby food in jars and watched her make horrified faces when I put food into her mouth (except fruit of course) I didn't know a book like this existed. These recipes are absolutely fabulous! My second child loves everything I give her from this book. She hasn't refused anything yet - not even spinach with mushrooms and potato. Some of the recipes do require a bit of cooking, but usually nothing over 10-20 minutes and then I have enough for the rest of the month. She has been introduced to so many healthy nutritious foods that I couldn't otherwise give her because they don't come in jars. Easy, delicious - and the books has recipes for toddlers and older kids too.Book Review: "Choke" full of info
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleased to find a book that gave me everything I wanted and then some... organic food cost and nutritional value vs bland, nutrient, lacking jared food; the courage to make the effort to prepare homemade food, the nutritional breakdown of foods esp. protein because of concerns of feeding meat to a child before he aquires molars to properly chew. I will use this as my bible for my 29 week premmie and his future sibilings. The one thing I found missing was information on the nutritional benefits and values of goats milk as an excellent milk alternative. Recommend to any mom. Enjoy !!!Book Review: Super baby food help!
Summary: 5 Stars
Annabel really helps the mommy who wants to skip the storebought, bland, jarred foods and let baby eat fresher, tastier, and more nutritious foods. Her explanations help you understand what you're feeding your little one, why, and how to go about it. There are simple recipes for single food purees and more involved recipes (though still easy!) for combination foods worthy of grownup consumption! In fact, from her other book (The Healthy Baby Meal Planner), I often make a soup for everybody out of one of her purees. Pick any of her books and you'll be glad you did!
