Professional Review:
When feeding babies, parents need to think outside the box—or the jar. Infants develop more rapidly in the first two years than they will in any other period of their lives. Over processed foods containing chemicals, preservatives, pesticide residue, and genetically engineered ingredients cannot nourish a growing baby. Infants need fresh, natural foods just like the rest of us.

Eating well can be easy, fun, and inexpensive. "Simply Natural Baby Food" gives you practical recipes to prepare whole foods that won’t tie you to the kitchen. Best of all, your children will learn good eating habits that will last a lifetime. There is a chapter for each stage of a baby’s eating development from first solid foods to fun recipes for toddlers. Tips are interspersed throughout the book to give the reader advice on cutting preparation time, helping baby to gain feeding independence, and getting maximum nutrition into baby’s meals.

The book contains detailed recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, desserts, and beverages, including infant cereals, whole-grain crackers, sugar-free sweets, and non-diary nut and seed milks. Parents will appreciate the imaginative ways vegetables are incorporated into meals. For the child with allergies, many wheat-free, diary-free, and egg-free recipes have been included. "Simply Natural Baby Food" promotes a plant-based diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, sea vegetables, nuts and seeds are emphasized. There are recipes containing dairy products, fish, and poultry because, eaten in moderation, these foods contain important nutrients, but vegetarian and vegan alternatives are provided for virtually every recipe.

Find out how easy it is to prepare your own baby food. You'll save money and give your child the best possible start.

   Summary: Good for the beginners, but too basic for anyone else
As a 2nd time mom, I already had some idea of what to introduce when and how to make basic vegetable mixes. I bought this book mainly based on the reviews, because the ideas of adding flaxseeds gfor fiber and using kelp and so on made it sound like an "edgier" healthy baby cookbook.

I still gave it 3 stars because even though it's pretty basic, it still has some great tips and it really encourages to feed the baby whole foods: it explains how to make baby cereal from whole grains, good veggies and fruits to start with and some interesting mixes; it's also divided by age so 1st time moms will probably find it useful as it gives guidance while keeping things simple.

   Summary: The Basics
A good book overall, however, I wanted a little more information. I would recommend buying it in addition to The Petit Appetit by Lisa Barnes.

   Summary: By Far My Favorite
Of all the baby food cookbooks in my collection (English, Chinese and Japanese), I have to say "Simply Natural Baby Food" is by far my favorite. I like it because it's concise and informative, and it incorporates some old ingredients that I grew up with, e.g. dried seaweed and tofu, and some new ingredients that I'd happily tried such as Tahini and Hummus. More importantly it caters to the needs of babies with food allergies and always offers alternatives. The simple and healthy finger food and snack ideas have been lifesavers for us as we tried to stay away from some common allergens. As for those recipes that call for nuts, skipping this particular ingredient does not affect the flavor IMHO. Last but not least, like other reviewers have commented, these recipes yield creative and delicious dishes for the whole family to enjoy.

   Summary: very user friendly
I bought this book along with several others, including super baby food. I found this the easiest to get started. I think anyone making their own babyfood will research the process from several different sources and ultimately figure out their own system for how they want to feed their baby. One of the nice things about this book is that it has a wide variety of recipes for different age groups and doesn't subscribe to a rigid menu. Although some of the denser books are good resources, this is a book you can thumb through for ideas. It's the one i turn to most consistently.

   Summary: Nutritous and easy!
My family loves food, we are the farmers market type of shoppers, picking up heirloom carrots, tomoatoes, and raw garbanzo beans. With this in mind, we LOVE this little book. We learned a lot about different sources of quality nutrition for our son (who is now 13 months). Although, we don't use the book a lot anymore, it was a good starting point for finding high quality, nutritious ingredients for little meals. There are some recipes that call for nuts, so we just skipped those until my son was one. No big deal.

If you want simple recipes like smashed carrots and puree peas... this is probably not for you. The other cookbooks mentioned by previous reviewers are a great resource for these.
