Customer Reviews

Nicely rounded for your growing belly, growing family

As another reviewer stated, you do not have to be pregnant to reap in the wonderful results of this perfect cookbook. Lots of amazing recipes and chock full of priceless information on the nutrients we need, which foods have them and how to cook them to perfection. I have already lent this book to a friend who is pregnant, and can't wait to get it back. I plan to use this book for any future pregnancies as well as a lifestyle cookery catalyst.

Wonderful recipes and a great resource

This is a wonderful cook book, even after pregnancy. The recipes are some of my husband and toddler's favorites - we particulary love the flank steak with salsa verde, bbq chicken, and goat cheese and tomato pasta salad. I refer to the book frequently - there is so much great information in here. Many of the recipes are great for entertaining - easy, wonderfully tasty, and special.

Not just another pregancy book

When you have a baby you end up buying a million books and reading everything you can. When you have your second, as I just did, you only have time to read the most practical books. This book gave me all the understandable nutritional information that I needed for a healthy pregnancy, plus 100+ great-tasting recipes that even I can cook and my family enjoys. This is one "pregancy book" that has a shelf life longer then 9 months.

Tasty, innovative and nutritious recipes

Every recipe we've tried has been terrific: the ricotta cheese pancakes, the crab cakes with red pepper sauce, the turkey burgers, the cheese and spinach quesadillas... These are definitely recipes we'll keep using even after our baby is born, and ones we've already shared with friends and family (both pregnant and not). The authors include nutritional information for each recipe, as well as tips for variations and saving time while preparing the recipes. Highly recommended!

You Do Not Have to Be Pregnant!

I am sixty-four years old with grown children and a grandchild and I am enjoying this book very much. The recipes are tasty, easy with well-written directions. Being a vegetarian, I especially enjoy the many meatless recipes and the nutritional information. This book is chock full of good information for anyone at any stage in their life.
