Good information, tried several recipes and they were fine although I once again feel like there's a real conflict with wanting to feed whole foods and having a full time job. We take shortcuts because we simply don't have time to prep everything from scratch. ( )

what an incredible book! as our baby is beginning to share more and more of our meals, i really need to make sure those meals are as healthful as can be. this book helped by inspiring and motivating me and by offering many good suggestions for using more whole foods in my cooking. it contains many wonderful recipes for porridge, applesauce, bread, granola, hummus, etc. as well as a lot of helpful information about buying, storing, and cooking whole grains.

I borrowed this book from a friend who borrowed it from another friend. The cover is well-worn and torn in places, so I knew it must have been well-used (always a good sign in a cookbook, I think).

We have tried several recipes from this book and have loved every one of them. The recommendations for meal planning are realistic, nutritious, and affordable. There are food sensitivities in my family (to gluten and dairy) and these recipes are mostly GF/CF (except for the baked goods) and those that aren't are easily modified. Each recipe also comes with recommendations about how to modify the meal to suit the needs of older babies and toddlers so you don't have to make a separate meal (or break open the canned baby food, which can be convenient but expensive for everyday eating). I also love the section about how to involve children in cooking. I'd sort of exhausted my imagination on this front with my 3-year-old, and the author's suggestions have helped me to involve my daughter in food prep a little more. This book is going on my Christmas wish list. ( )

Totally awesome book. It has a ton of information that's really helped me feed my family healthier. And the recipes aren't super complicated with a ton of exotic ingredients. They're simple down to Earth and good. ( )

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Simple and delicious foods. It's mostly vegetarian. Healthy alternatives for desserts. We have yet to try a recipe in this book we don't like! We probably cook 3 or 4 meals a week out of this cookbook. ( )
