Customer Reviews

15 Years - And I still use it .

I first bought this book in 1992 when I was beginning to wean my daughter. When I moved to the U.S. in 2000 I was devastated to discover it had gone missing in the move. I had a 4 month old son, how was I going to feed him without Annabel. Thanks to my mother in law and the postal service we got a replacement and sailed through weaning. I'm afraid it is now dog eared and stained, but it's the only cookbook I own that has really been worth every penny. I have memorised most of the recipe's and we have our favourites, which are probably made at least once a month. Mango Chicken,Savoury Veal Casserole, Mini Shepherds Pie (try it with Minced Lamb),Salmon with Chive Sauce,Mushroom Pasta Sauce, Easy One Pot Chicken. The list is huge and they are all delicious. It's difficult to buy a cookbook not knowing how easy the recipes are or how obtainable the ingredients. Especially if it's for children. Don't worry, you will not be disappointed.

Freedom

Through routine and organisation you achieve flexibility and spontaneity. This book helps you get organised and feed your children good healthy food. I soon found my life back on track after following the feeding tables in this book. I buy this book as a gift for all expecting mums.

Its a life saver...

I bought this book along with Lorraine Kellys paperback as I hadn't a clue what to feed our baby let alone how! I really wanted our baby to eat fresh healthy foods so that when she could eat the same as her parents we wouldn't have a battle on our hands. Between the two books this one is my favourite. The book is well laid out with clear and easy to follow guidelines and recipes. Yes, it takes a while to get the cooking done but it saves alot of money and time in the end(compared to processed foods). The recipes are tasty and surprisingly different - apple in mini burgers (which I thought she'd hate - but loved) and clever presentations that make meal times less of a battle. The end of the book includes recipes that all the family can eat. Annabel doesn't promise your baby will always eat but she does guide you along with her years of experience as a Mother and a cook. A real life saver for us. You won't be disappointed.

Great book!

This book provides great guidelines for preparing and storing baby food. I also like photos in my cookbooks and this book has plenty of them. I can't wait until my daughter gets old enough so that we can try the toddler recipes. Just take note that Karmel is a British author so some of the foods she suggests for babies may differ from what American pediatricians recommend.

For the whole family

I saw this book at a friend's house, who just moved back from the U.K. and bought this book there. We both have daughters who are the same age, and spend a lot of time at each others house. After eating several meals together with the kids, I deceided that their food tasted much better than the things I cooked. The first time I made a receipe from the book, my husband came home and was all excited, smelling the flavours before he even entered the house, hoping this would be our dinner. Sadly, not only I had to tell him that I was cooking for our 1 year old daughter, but in addition fight him off tasting the food. My daughter is now 2 years 3 month old and I am still using receipes on a regualr basis from this book to cook dinner for the whole family. I highly recommened, especially for first time moms, who wonder what to make for thir child besides steamed carrots and broccoli. Very healthy receipes that taste AWESOME!!!!
