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: 1. Knowing what's in it, therefore ensuring healthy and wholesome meals. 2. Tailoring the texture to your baby's preferences. 3. 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.

Great ideas:

I looked through all the reviews and it was difficult to choose which book to buy. But I choose this and it gives me a great ideas. i am going through the book and doing my veggies and fruits in alphabetical order. Apple Broccoli Bananas Carrots...etc. i don't want my child to only be into fruits..so I switch back and forth.

Happy mommy!:

I really love this book. I feel like it's turned me into a gourmet chef for my baby without spending too much time in the kitchen, or spending too much money. Some of the early recipes are basic 1 ingredient purees, but I love the recipes once you get to about 7 months. They are creative, tasty and easy! A few of my little guy's favorites are: Tilapia with diced tomatoes and celery; Dhal; Squash and Roasted Red Pepper Risotto; Barley, Lentils and Sweet Potato. Obviously common sense prevails, make sure... more info

wonderful book!:

This book was a great intro to how to go about making your our baby food. I especially liked how the book was devided into months, and gave menu samples at the begining of each chapter. It doesn't get too in depth and complicated with its receipes, but does have more elaborate dishes for the creative types. The book also offers great tips on the produce and what to look for when you buy. I highly recommend it!

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.
