I'm making all of Olivia's baby food and wanted to know if anyone had a favorite cookbook they used for their baby and toddler.
-
I really like the book The Best Homemade Baby Food On the Planet! It has a lot of cool variations & has kept it different for LO
-
I didn't have a cookbook, but was on this site a lot.
http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/ -
@chopsuey119: yes! that website is great
-
I didn't really make recipes for my LO. I just pureed simple vegetables and mixed them together. Anything with sweet potato was pretty tasty so I would just mix a little bit of sweet potato with all types of veggies and he liked it.
-
@Mrs. Bicycle: I usually use the site that @Chopsuey recommended and sometimes flip through the book that came with my baby bullet. I saw two baby food cookbooks the last time I was at Williams Sonoma. They looked amazing!!
-
I bought a book but it was pretty silly. It just tells you to steam or bake, puree, then strain everything.
-
@artbee: i agree - it seems like those books are a scam but i bought one.
-
@Andrea: I know! It did give me peace of mind that I was doing it right.... but after the fact I wouldn't do it again.
-
@artbee: i read the reviews on amazon and they were good so i thought what the heck, i'll try it out. it was not very insightful! LOL.

Thanks everyone. I didn't have one for my first 2 kids, I just steamed and blended everything and sometimes did some combos. Just wandering if there was anything good out there that I didn't know about. I bought the Williams-Sonoma one for my sis in law. I think she liked it. Maybe I'll get that one again. I'll definitely check wholesomebabyfood.com.

I have the Baby and Toddler Cookbook. I really like it! It has recipes for purees for just starting out, but it also has some really good recipes for first table foods. I made LO pumpkin risotto, coconut rice pudding, a vegetable stew, and some other things from this cookbook. I guess you could adapt these types of recipes from adult recipes, but I just like having the guesswork taken out! It has suggestions for snacks and healthy desserts for toddlers, and I like that too, especially when I feel like I'm in a rut and serving her the same thing again and again.

@sweetandtart thanks, I was kinda thinkin I might enjoy the toddler recipes too. Good to know someone else likes it.

I like the weelicious website for recipes. Wholesomebabyfood was more of a list resource for me (what to introduce when).
