This Just In: Best Homemade Baby Food Book

A new addition to Cotton Babies this week is the book The Best Homemade Baby Food On The Planet.



"Full of recipes to suit every age and stage-from six months all the way to twenty-three months-The Best Homemade Baby Food on the Planet shows you how simple and easy it is to prepare food your baby will go absolutely ga-ga for. From quick purées like Mighty Tasty Blueberry and Pear Mash and No-Cook Prune Purée, to new and nourishing meals like Sweet Omelet Surprise and Finger-Lickin’ Good Lentils and Potato with Cheese, you’ll find it a breeze to prepare any and all of the recipes you and your little one fancy."
As I flipped through this book I was surprised to see it is more than just quick how-tos and recipes for baby food. While the recipes take up a majority of the book, I was drawn to the final chapters that include charts of vitamins and minerals that explain what each does for baby's body and which foods are good sources of each vitamin or mineral. Another chapter is entitled "Special Considerations" gives information about the differences between food intolerances and allergies as well as a list of "problem foods" which makes it a great resource for any parent.
The book is full of beautiful photographs that compliment the recipes and would be a great gift for any mom-to-be, especially if she is interested in making her own baby food. Pair it with the Beaba Babycook Multiportions Tray and spoons to make a great gift to get the new family off to a great start.

Have you made your own baby food? What is your favorite recipe for your little one?
