This is a good book if you are looking for recipes for a family, however, I thought that it was lacking in recipes and information as first solids for babies (which is what I expected). I think it’s it great for families with children 2 years and older. The recipes are focused on adults first, then younger children, then babies. So, if you are looking for recipes exclusively or primarily for babies– this is not the right book.

More than just recipes, the author has great tips on getting your kids to eat veggies, what rules should be enforced at the dinner table, general advice on healthy eating, etc. I bought a copy for a friend who just had her second boy since I didn’t know what she could possibly need that she didn’t already have (other than diapers). It contains advice on things you don’t necessarily get figured out after having your first child (or subsequent children, for that matter).
The only difficulty I found is in finding some of the more exotic ingredients; I wish she would list substitutes. I live in Austin, a wonderful place for finding anything vegan/organic/generally-out-there-stuff and even I can’t seem to find brown rice vinegar! I’ve checked Central Market, Whole Foods, and Natural Grocers…they’re stumped. I guess I’ll have to settle for the white rice variety.

Don’t skip over this book just because you don’t have kids! I got this book as a gift 5 years ago and it is definitely the most well-used cookbook in my kitchen. Lots of tasty one-dish meals and good leftovers. I like to make something on Sunday and stretch it through the week, and I come back over and over to certain recipes like Red Lentil Soup and Red Bean and Quinoa Chili. And the Luscious Beet Salad with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds has converted me and multiple friends from beet-haters to beet-lovers! I also find that the recipes are very easily adaptable so you can substitute or add what you have on hand, and that the tips, techniques and ingredients in the book have generally contributed to me becoming a better and healthier cook.
