Great book for moms wanting to make homemade food for their babies and toddlers. There were many good ideas and would make a good reference to keep. I would definitely recommend this book for moms that have an instant pot and want some new recipes. Thanks to Net Galley and Harvard Press for allowing me to read and give an unbiased comment.
This was a great and easy to follow recipe book with some good idea on how to get the most our of my instant pot and making my own toddler food. My little girl will be two in october and now that I am back to work I am always looking for quick, easy and healthy meals to make her and I would much rather make my own food for her than buy ready to eat meals from the store. This book was clear to follow and had great pictures
This would make a great gift for new parents. We made various purees in our Instant Pot when our son was a baby. The challenge is in finding the right combos so that the texture and taste are appetizing to little ones.
The recipes in this cookbook are clear and easy to follow.
What a find! Did you recently purchase or receive an Instant Pot as a gift? Do you have a toddler, or a baby ready for their first foods? This book is perfect for you then. I loved the little charts that showed you how long you can put your food in the fridge or in the freezer in the intro of the book. I also loved the kind of intro to Instant Pot, because while I did not read my instructions for my Instant Pot, they had instructions in this book so I read all of those :) I loved the vivid picture with white background (who knew you could instagram baby food...). I also loved learning about different types of grains (I've never tried farro so baby is going to be more food literate than me) and all of the recipes were simple (less than a page) and easy to understand. Some of the recipes in the berry section, not gonna lie, I turned them into smoothies for me (Blueberry, apple, spinach and I added banana, yum!) One of the coolest things I learned about using an Instant Pot was how to hard boil eggs, the shells peel off so easily! A great cookbook filled with practical tips and beautiful photos.
This is a great cook book for babies/toddlers. My first child is about to turn 2 and i would have loved to have had this book when i was beginning to wean her. Having tried some of the recipes, i am happy to announce all went well and my toddler loved it. I especially like how there is a smash birthday cake section, this is something i had to hunt the internet for last year but luckily this year i have this!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic advanced readers copy of this cook book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
I was disappointed in this book a bit. Particularly when cooking for babies and toddlers, monitoring nutrition is key...that can be difficult to do without a nutritional breakdown, which this cookbook does not offer. The instructions are clear, though, and the recipes all look good.
Homemade baby food gets jacked up a notch using the Instant Pot. Cut baby/toddler meal prep time by using this ingenious little device and this well organized & easy to read gem. A must for any 21st century Mom.
I received a ARC of this title from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Great cookbook for babies, toddlers, and anyone with a sensitive stomach, in my opinion. I think the purées seem wholesome and appealing, and I would eat some of the toddler dinners in a quick minute (see chicken pot pie, especially). Great recipes and photographs, too. Excellent, all the way!
