Book Description

May 2, 2003
The Baby Bistro Cookbook

Healthy, Delicious Cuisine for Babies, Toddlers, and You

You no longer need to exclude your baby or toddler from a gourmet lifestyle! The Baby Bistro Cookbook shows you how easy it is to introduce your child to the experience of fine dining. This cookbook offers 150 delicious, foolproof recipes for children from their first bites through toddlerhood. From first foods such as simply prepared pureed fruits and vegetables to more complex meals of meats, sandwiches, snacks, and beverages, The Baby Bistro Cookbook will walk you through your child's nutritional and gustatory stages.

Most baby and toddler cookbooks contain outdated nutritional advice, lack menus for kids with special dietary needs, or offer unpalatable dishes that hold little appeal for your child. Joohee Muromcew was inspired to change those dismal options when she began to cook for her son. Armed with her expert culinary skills and her desire to create healthy, delicious foods with a sophisticated flair, she developed a cookbook that is without equal.

The Baby Bistro Cookbook is packed with 150 delicious, easy-to-follow upscale recipes, like Ratatouille and Fresh Mozzarella Omelet. Here are some other unique features that put this book in a class by itself.

* Substitutions for children with food allergies
* Directions for preparing an entire week's supply of dishes that can be easily refrigerated or frozen
* Pediatrician-approved information on adapting recipes to suit your child's age and tastes
* Hints on what foods to pack when traveling with children
* Recipes for special occasions

Teaching your child at an early age to appreciate and enjoy the same fresh, delicious meals you find so delectable is easy. Once you experience the simple pleasures of knowing that your young one is eating happily and healthfully, you'll never want to touch, or feed your baby, another jar of bland baby food again!

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

It's only human that parents try to make their children into copies of themselves. In the case of this cookbook, the parent is trying to coax the toddler into eating solid food. The Baby Bistro Cookbook lures toddlers with recipes for slightly sweet vegetables such as corn pudding, and with lightly spiced dishes such as curried spinach and cheese. Author Joohee Muromcew has had success with encouraging her son's appetite with these foods, so she offers them to other parents. Breakfast cakes, lamb and leeks, Swedish meatballs, gingersnaps, and similar all aim to lure the baby from primitive appetites. For the allergic, Muromcew presents both peanut and no-peanut versions of sesame noodles. Mark Knoblauch

1.0 out of 5 stars Leave Infant out of the title, January 20, 2004
This review is from: The Baby Bistro Cookbook: Healthy, Delicious Cuisine for Babies, Toddlers, and You (Hardcover)
For those who are just starting your baby on solid foods, this is NOT the book for you. There are a few token recipies I think were thrown in (pureed fruit and rice cereal) but other than that the majority of the recipies are for much older babies or toddlers. Recipies here include whole eggs, milk, citrus and other ingredients that are not suitable for babies under 12 months. If you have an infant,and want to make your own baby food, find another book and save this one for the toddler years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baby Bistro Cookbook by Muromcew, September 4, 2003
This review is from: The Baby Bistro Cookbook: Healthy, Delicious Cuisine for Babies, Toddlers, and You (Hardcover)
This book is excellent if you are cooking for a small child
at home or guests with small children. The author describes
optimal portions, food allergies, storage and organically
based foods. There is a section which instructs on how to
prepare dishes a week ahead of time. In addition, there is a
conversion chart to assist in measuring food portions.
Delicious deserts are depicted. i.e. Dried fruit,
banana chips, fig bars and sunflower seeds.
The book is a worthy purchase if you are preparing foods
destined for consumption by small children and even the elderly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for toddlers., June 27, 2004
By 
MichelleMoses (Germantown, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Baby Bistro Cookbook: Healthy, Delicious Cuisine for Babies, Toddlers, and You (Hardcover)
This book is setup in an easy to read fashion. The chapters are divided into mealtimes (breakfast, dinner, etc.) Joohee Muromcew, the author, does give a lot of useful information throughout. She gives some meal plan ideas, food to pack when traveling, how to shop with/without children and much more.

If you want to know how to make beginning food for babies you really don't need to spend your money here. Basically add some lemon juice to cooked veggies and puree. She does say you can puree any of the recipes, but I don't agree. Many of the recipes include eggs, milk, cheese and other no-no's for young babies. That reminds me, you really need to know what foods your child can have and when, because she doesn't give any information on the age at which these recipes can be started.

Now, with that said, your baby will grow older one day and begin eating non-pureed food items. Some days you may have steak on your plate and you just can't feed that to your little one yet. If that is the case, you can reach for your trusty book. She does have a lot of wonderful recipes for toddlers. They introduce many new flavors, which you may not have thought of. There are child versions of palak paneer, japanese egg custard, chicken curry and peanut sesame noodles. The sweet treats are much less sugary than we're used to, but toddlers still love them. Some recipes call for hard to find items, but they can be substituted with what you do have.

Overall, I would say that this book is a good resource to have on hand.
