Oh, yay, something I'm excited to comment on in a blog (okay, so I mostly lurk). I've been making homemade baby food since the start (my baby just turned a year old, so she's eating lots of finger foods and not so many purees anymore). I found this great food cookbook called "The Healthy Baby Meal Planner" by Annabel Karmel at the library, and liked it so much I bought myself a copy. Annabel Karmel is sort of the classic of baby food cookbooks (I know, can you imagine there's a market for baby food cookbooks?). Anyway, she's got lots of easy recipes. And one of the things I liked about her recipes is that she doesn't assume a lot of basic knowledge. Lots of books assume you know how to cut and cook certain vegetables, but she actually tells you what to peel, how to cut the vegetable up, what parts to scoop out, etc. It's great, especially for someone like me (not a brilliant cook, but I do like to bake). Anyway, I'd recommend getting a cookbook like that, meant for babies, because it will give you not just recipes but also ideas of what kinds of foods to cook up. And she has some great ideas about how to serve meat--her chicken apple balls are a hit with my baby--and with my husband, who will actually steal them off her tray to eat them himself. And I'd be happy to share any of my homemade food cooking tips with you (at least, from what experience I've had over the past seven months).
