Good simple recipes

Before I purchased this, I checked out this book and a few Annabel Karmel volumes from the library. This is the one I ended up buying. The Karmel books had some good recipes, but they were on average, much more elaborate. This book includes a lot of health information, and the recipes are more practical and include combining foods I already have in my kitchen in ways I hadn't thought of before. it has made it a breeze to feed my 11 month old without buying all the over-priced baby food I bought for my older son.

Outstanding resource!

The guidelines my pediatrician gave me when my baby started solids were very vague and basically only listed the amount of fruits, vegetables, and cereal she should eat each day. Feeling confused, I turned to this book and found excellent guidance and menus. I love how there are suggestions as to how to make the meal for adults. The recipes are creative, healthy, and delicious. It is an excellent book for infants as well as toddlers.

Wonderful recipes!

1,2,3, Cook for Me is my favorite gift to families of new babies. They will enjoy this book not only in their children's early years, but for years to come, as it is filled with delicious recipes for all ages. I use this for our family of two teenaged boys.

Not Just for Babies!

Karin Knight's remarkable book is not just for babies. Her sound nutritional advice and delicious recipes are for everyone of any age. One of the most important things she's done is to distinguish between true food allergies (relatively rare) and food intolerances, something that many parents need advice on. The 5 sections of "1,2,3, Cook for Me," provide parents with essential knowledge about a child's nutritional needs from birth to 24 months and beyond, which foods are okay and which to avoid depending on the child's age, the benefits of making homemade food for your baby, a month-by-month feeding guide, and a toddler's month-by-month guide with recipes the whole family can enjoy. I wish we had this book when our own two sons were born. Now, our grandchildren are benefiting from Mrs. Knight's wisdom.
