Great to start with!

This is the best make your own baby food book I've found! I purchased several other books (Simply Natural Baby Food, The Well Fed Baby, Organic Baby and Toddler Cookbook and The Petit Appetit Cookbook to name a few)but most barely mention infants and start with older babies. I wanted to know exactly when to start my three month old on baby food and what foods were appropriate at what age. This book gives you that in a simple, straight forward easy to follow manner. I can't recommend this enough. It's a perfect book to start with. They also combine this book in a kit that includes the food trays needed and a how to video. It's under a different name and is called the So Easy Baby Food Kit.

Super Easy!

I am not a decent cook ,and even I figured out how to do this. I've used my food processor more in the past month than I ever have in my whole life. Recipes are very easy and there are some suggestions for "medleys", even using tofu and other items I wouldn't have thought of. Everything tastes delicious--I have no problem actually tasting the food before serving. Also we've found making our own food is much cheaper than buying jars (plus, we have twins.) When I tell people we make our own, they usually say we must be crazy or an "earth mother"--really it is very easy, tasty, and cheap. This book does not have recipes for toddler foods, only pureed baby foods.

The best baby food resource

This book is the best baby food resource I have found. It makes preparing foods so quick and easy. The recipes are divided by age range (4-6 mos, 6-8 mos. etc) and within the age range each food is given a page. Not only does it include recipes, but also includes variations with appropriate ages and other foods that can be combined with this food and appropriate ages. It is such a great reference. Furthermore, I had a question about one of the recipes and e-mailed the address in the front of the book. Within a few hours I had a response from one of the authors - I was very impressed. I have several books on baby food and this one is the easiest to read and use -if you're only going to buy one, this should be it!
