Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not Easy
I found that this book was really hard to follow. The recipes are time consuming and difficult. As a beginner cook I would not recommend this book I had to return it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Great Resource
I already had Super Baby Food at home for my 2nd child. It's a good book, but I wanted to find some other baby food recipes to make for my 3rd child. I purchased both Blender Baby Food and this book, The Petit Appetit. I enjoy both books, however I am very impressed with the details that this author, Lisa Barnes, goes into. She talks about food safety, nutrition, the benefits of homemade vs. store bought, organic foods, and other good topics. The chapters are divided into the ages/stages when certain foods can be introduced. She also has some great recipes that I can't wait to try.

My son is only 9 weeks old now, so he's not quite ready to begin sampling these great foods, but I figured that summer is the perfect time to catch foods at the farmer's markets while they are in season and at their freshest. I can start making, freezing and perhaps even canning some of the recipes so that they are ready when my son is ready. This book is a great resource to have at home. Don't be afraid to try making your own baby food. With my first child, I remember standing in line at the grocery store lining the conveyor belt with tons of jars of food. I never thought that I could make my own food. Between that time and the birth of my second child, I started down the organic road and realized I could make my own food. "Duh! What did people do years ago before jarred baby food!" I thought to myself. It really is easy to do but it just takes time. If you're willing to take that time, you'll benefit from buying this book!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just the right amount of information
I bought this book based on other customers' reviews, and I am very glad I did. I compared it with some other famous baby food books, and this one is by far my favorite. I like how the recipes are grouped by age-group (6-9 months, 9-12 months, etc.). I like how there are instructions for different cooking methods. I like how it includes recipes you can use later, after the baby is finished with 'baby food" and ready for finger foods and table foods.

Other books have so much information and so many "tips" that I feel overwhelmed. This book has the perfect balance of information and recipes, which is what parents actually want!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - You don't have to be completely organic
I can't afford all organic food right now, so I just buy the ordinary stuff which works just fine. I really enjoy using this book. Her directions for the food prep, with different options are helpful when you don't have much time to devote to the process. The recipes encourage me to not be afraid to let my baby try new things. I hope that by trying out a new recipe every few days, this will help my baby not become as big of a picky eater as her dad! Only issue: watch out for allergies. Read up on what not to feed your baby somewhere else, that incorporate that into your meal plans.
