5.0 out of 5 stars Family Meals made easy and delicious June 8, 2011
Format:Hardcover
Realizing that healthy eating involves eating as a family, Tyler Florence has filled this book with recipes that work for everyone in the house. Last night I made Roast Turkey with Herbed Vegetables (page 72). Not only was it easy to make, but it was delicious! Roasting is a nice way to make a flavorful meal without a lot of work. I can throw it all together, pop it in the oven and then play with the baby, or give him a bath while it cooks. The food that I portioned out for the baby and pulsed in the food processor was the perfect consistency for him. The leftovers have kept well and he had "seconds" warmed up today for lunch. He liked the flavors, as much as he does the Sprout baby food pouch meals.

I felt really good about serving my whole family the same meal. This book makes it easy to have a family meal that is healthy, appealing and delicious for everyone at the table. The ingredients are easy to find in the average grocery store provided they are in season, this means a lot to me as I do not want to plan a meal and then have a hard time finding everything I need to make it. The flavors are powerful without overwhelming the sensitive palate of a baby or a toddler, while at the same time pleasing the adults at the table.

This book will see a lot of use in my household. I highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this book! July 9, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ok, so I have purchased several books on making your own food for baby, and I like all of them so far, however the difference in this book for me is that it contains meals you can make for everyone all at the same time. I have made quite a few recipes out of this book, and so far they are all great. The one pan lasagna is totally awesome and will be a recipe I will use for years. I have made several of the purees for my son and he loves them. Tyler uses a lot of roasting techniques whichs adds a whole new flavor that I didn't have when making purees by steaming. I've also made the butternut squash macaroni and cheese, which was a hit as well, and I felt healthy eating it!! This is really an awesome book and I'm glad that I purchased it. I almost bought it for my kindle, but decided I wanted the pictures, which are quite inspirational. Oh, and I promise that the recipes aren't hard or complicated at all, nor do they require strange ingredient. Trust me, I'm not a seasoned cook and love it when you can just throw things together.

I have been waiting for this cookbook to come out and it has not disappointed! It has mouth watering recipes with great pictures for each.

The cookbook comes in age appropriate sections, starting with 4-6 months. Fabulous recipes for purees, dinners, soups, snacks and desserts. All of them healthy of course. It really is a must have for anyone with kids!
