Product Description
Making nutritious, homemade baby food has never been so easy! Baby food doesn't have to come in jars, and making your own at home is not difficult. Baby food is strained, puréed or mashed adult food - just a different version of the food you prepare for yourself. Here are three good reasons to make baby food at home: - Knowing what's in it, therefore ensuring healthy and wholesome meals.
- Tailoring the texture to your baby's preferences.
- Shaping baby's tastes and helping him/her learn what fresh foods taste like.
Whether choosing to make all baby's food at home, or just some of it, the blender is a great way to offer new flavors in a baby-friendly texture. Once a child begins to eat table food, there is always an occasion for a fruit smoothie or a nutritious blended dip. Here's a sampling of the deliciously easy recipes: - Six Months and Older: Peach and Pear Bananarama, Melon Madness, Zucchini and Nectarines, Roasted Vegetable Purée
- Eight Months and Older: Vegetable Paella, Humus for Beginners, Chicken with Red Peppers and Corn, Beefy Broccoli
- Nine Months and Older: Lemon Raspberry Yogurt, Over the Top Applesauce, Spinach and Tomatoes with Ricotta, Fisherman's Pie
- Twelve Months and Older: Orange Banana Smoothie, Very Berry Pears, Broccoli and Cauliflower Melt, Veggie Cream Sauce
All the recipes in Blender Baby Food are accompanied by suggested age guidelines. Also included are lots of great tips for making baby food, storage and freezing guidelines as well as the appropriate way to thaw and reheat food. Plus, none of the recipes calls for any of the salt, sugar, starches or fillers found in many commercially prepared baby foods. Blender Baby Food helps parents give their baby the best nutritional advantage. (200511)

 User Friendly
This book delivers a wide array of food recipes--from simple purees to much more complex dishes. After cooking one, my husband and I often wished we had made enough for ourselves. More importantly, my baby loved the recipes. The book is divided by the baby's age, which is helpful. I especially like that the book is not alarmist in nature-- it doesn't make you into a nervous mess about introducing every food to your child.

 Great book for the whole family
I have been very eager to start my child on solids and a road to healthy eating. This book was a great addition to my quest, and I would recommend it for any family wanting to encourage healthy eating habits and easy recipes.
Some features I really liked: there are tips and facts next to almost every recipe which range from what kind of green beans to buy to how to alter the recipe for a toddler. Also almost all of the recipes make two cups of puree, which makes it really easy to freeze or expand for the family. Also there are is a lot of variety when it comes to time involved in cooking. Almost every recipe is easily adaptable to become a family meal. This book really inspires you to skip the hot dogs and tater tots and give your kids a nutritious meal.
On the downside some recipes do include items before the recommended age to start. However this is easily adapted by just waiting a few months before using the recipe. My biggest complaint is the lack of information about starting your infant on solids. There is only one page regarding this, no recipes and few details on cereals. I guess since I am currently in that stage it bothers me more than usual.
Overall I recommend purchasing this book for the great recipes, but I would still get at least one other book that talks more about the initial stages if you are starting from the beginning. Blender Baby food - why not try it for yourself?

 False advertising
I had been told by one of my girlfriends to get the Super Baby Foods book and thought this one might be complimentary since it was in the catergory and so similar in its advertising of the book. WRONG! This book was aweful and if I hadn't had so much on my plate I would have returned it immediately. NOT worth the $$

Blender Baby Food cookbook
The recipes that we have tried so far are excellent. The winter squash with pear seasoned with fresh Rosemary is so good that not only did my 7-month granddaughter enthusiastically enjoy it, but we adults did, too! I'm impressed that the book includes recipes that are nicely seasoned with herbs.

 Not for me ( morganscholten )
I was excited about this book after reading the reviews, but the excitement ended there. While the layout is nice and accessible and many of the recipes look quite tasty, the nutritional information is off. Many of the recipes include ingredients inappropriate for the age group listed in the book. For example, strawberries, citrus, and cow's milk products are included in recipes for babies under a year, and all of these should be avoided until a baby is older. I don't want to have to weed through and re-think every recipe in the book, especially at this price, so I returned it. I recommend Naturally Healthy First Foods for Baby: The Best Nutrition for the First Year and Beyond instead.
