My husband & I purchased this book on the advice of our health visitor and have not looked back since. The daunting task of weaning our son (he is our first) was made very simple by following the sensible & practical advice about nutrition & the introduction of new foods to babies & toddlers Annabel Karmel offers.

By starting our son slowly on baby rice for the first two weeks as suggested & then gradually introducing more adventurous foods, we now have a healthy, lively & energetic 19 month old, who eats everything that is placed in front of him with no fuss.

The recipes ranging from ‘Lovely Lentils, Baked Sweet Potato & Orange’ to ‘Fillets of Fish in Cheese sauce’ have meant that our son has been eating balanced & nutritious meals without additives or preservatives since he was four months old.

The meal planners are invaluable, saving time when there is little by having a weekly straight forward outline that is simple to follow. Freezing recommendations & portion guidelines have halved the time spent in the kitchen as favourite recipes can be stored for use at a later date & we get to spend more time with our son.

For our son’s 1st birthday all the dishes were made using this cookbook and the adults loved the variety of food on offer as much as the children. Some family favourites are ‘Chicken with cornflakes’ & ‘My favourite pasta with broccoli’

I highly recommend this book as a first recipe book for parents facing the weaning process.
