The Everything Organic Cooking for Baby and Toddler Book: 300 naturally delicious recipes to get your child off to a healthy start (Everything Series) Review
I bought several organic cookbooks prior to my daughter reaching her 6 month mark. She is now almost a year old and this book takes the cake! There is a great variety of recipes and the book is separated into different age categories to make it easy. Many of the recipes that I am making her now are enjoyable for myself and other adults to eat as well. There's also awesome baked good recipes that use agave nectar instead of sugar and they honestly turn out better than the typical recipes I'm used to. I just love this book so much for so many reasons and it's definitely one of my "best buys" as far as baby purchases go.

Has a lot of recipes - joel - NNE
As my title suggests, it has a lot of recipes, most of which seem fine (to me based on a read through, baby's only had a small subset thus far).
The problem is the editing. I'm sorry that I actually bothered to read your book, but sentences like "Feeding before these cues are shown can lead to overfeeding and obesity (p16)" should not make it into a published book.
And that bit is immediately followed by bulleted section informing you of when your baby is ready for solids including, seriously,: "Baby can swallow nonliquid foods". Thank you, tremendously helpful.
Looks delicious - Jenny S - Mesa, AZ
I purchased this for a friend as part of the baby shower gift. I did go through it and found a whole bunch of delicious looking recipes that I would love to make for my 3 yr. old so I am also going to buy it! The recipes were simple and not time consuming which is what I need.
Complete waste of money - anna_r - San Jose, CA
I'm very disappointed by this book. It turned out to be a complete waste of my time and money.
I was looking for two things: some sort of a schedule of what foods can be introduced at what age, and good tasting baby food recipes - rather, combinations of ingredients. Recipe is such a strong word for baby food :) Since the target audience for this book is interested in cooking organic, you can safely assume that they all know how long it takes to steam cook carrots...
This book provided neither of the things I was looking for. Not sure if the author tasted any of the foods she suggests in the book - it sure doesn't look like it! And if you don't like the taste, why would your baby? I tried several recipes and they tasted simply horrible. In all honesty, I can't attribute this to bad cooking or bad ingredients - it's a simple puree made of fresh veggies after all! Let's face it: quinoa just doesn't taste good. Like most of the combinations suggested in the book. It was also very odd that they kept calling buckwheat 'kasha' - it's simply not correct. I am of Eastern European decent and the word 'kasha' doesn't mean 'buckwheat' - it stands for ANY cereal. Shows you how well the author did her homework! I wanted this book so that I won't have to waste my time trying dozens of various kinds of veggies/fruit combinations to figure out which ones taste good (I'm a working mom - yeah, yeah, I know, every mom is a working mom, though those of us with a full time job know the real difference!). After all, that's what I ended up doing. And this worked way better than the recipes from this author.
The second disappointment was the lack of any compact easy to follow schedule of when various foods can be introduced. The book does, however, have some information about organic foods (hello, I'm already interested in organics and know the pros and cons!) - and, ta-da! on breastfeeding and formula feeding (hello, my baby is six months old - I have figured this out by now!).
The point is - don't waste your time and money. Seriously. This book provided no info that I hadn't known and was useless in helping with making delicious purees.
