After purchasing Karmel's Top 100 Baby Purees, I plunged in for three Finger Foods- one for me (grandma) my daughter (9 mo old) and my daughter-in-law (6 month old). I think these recipes are great, and I will be more than happy to purchase greek-sytle yogurt (more protein, no fat) and leeks. A lot of the recipes- I do have the ingredients on hand. I plan to make a lot of these for my HUSBAND - started with the sweet potato parsnip crisps. My son in law made the tortilla pizzas the day they received the book. I love the side bar that states preparation time, cook time, servings, if "suitable for children under 1" and if "suitable for freezing". I want to make the mozzarella sticks after my next grocery trip. I'm happy!

lots of fried stuff in the recipes. although the title says "finger foods," I was hoping there would be more non-fried options.

There were a lot of recipes, which was nice. I was looking for a book with simple and easy recipes and finger food ideas. The recipes included in this book were a bit intricate and had too many ingredients. They were not simple or quick in my opinion.

At one year old, my son wants to feed himself. I needed healthy options for finger foods. I also wanted recipes that offer a variety of flavors. This is perfect!

I purchased this book hoping to get some good ideas for finger foods for my son. I ended up returing the book. I felt that it did not have a good variety of recipe ideas. A lot of the recipes were fatty or seemingly unhealthy. It was disappointing because I absolutely loved the Top 100 Baby Purees book by the same author.

I purchased this book when my baby was around a year old and I was trying to come up with new ideas to feed to her. To me Finger Foods suggested small children, but most of the recipes in this book are more for 4 years old and up. (I've actually cooked a lot of the recipes just for Mom and Dad.) So if you are looking for a family cookbook, this is a good one...but not so much for toddlers.

This cook book has beautiful photographs and easy recipes. Making some of these dishes can be a little time consuming, but if you have the time and desire to create something fun-why not?

I was unimpressed with this book. I was hoping for ideas for my toddler. The recipes were better suited for older children and not terribly realistic. Many of the foods were labor intensive and fussy. I have purchased other books by this author that I liked better. This one was not very good.

I really liked the recipes in this book. Some I will definitely make, but other's are WAY too time consuming. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase!

There are some good recipes in here, but when it comes down to it, it wasn't the type of book I was looking for. Like another reviewer said, the recipes are often intricate and unrealistic for a working mom with young kids. It didn't seem worth the cost of returning, but I haven't used it once, so now I wish I had sent it back. I'm accomplished in the kitchen so it's not a question of the recipes being "above" a beginner. I simply don't have the time it takes!
