Description
Parents everywhere are turning to do-it-yourself baby food making. They do so to ensure that the food they feed their children is all-natural and free of additives.They do it because, in recent years, pediatricians and dietitians have been recommending that a baby's diet feature a wide variety of ingredients, well beyond what you can buy in jars at the supermarket. And, nothing to sneeze at, they do it to save money.
How do they find the time? It isn't always easy. Enter the wildly popular Instant Pot, along with other brands of electric pressure cooker, the perfect solution for time-crunched moms and dads. Pressure cooking is skyrocketing in popularity in large part because of its speed. You can cook up a batch of baby purees, fruit sauces, or cereals in a matter of minutes. Consider how long some classic ingredients in baby foods, such as potatoes, apples, and squash, would take to cook up on a stove top or in an oven. Now reduce that time to a fraction of what it was and you can see why pressure cooking is the ideal method for making baby foods yourself.
No less an expert than Barbara Schieving, the world's most widely read blogger on pressure cooking (her blog is called Pressure Cooking Today), author of the best-selling The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook, and a mom and recent grandmother herself, delivers here more than 50 tasty and good-looking recipes that will make you feel good about how you are feeding your kids—and will make them smile with delight at mealtime.
With take-it-to-the-bank guidance on how to get the most from your cooker, this is a trustworthy kitchen companion parents will turn to again and again.

In this day and age when everyone is trying to eat less processed foods, parents want to invest in organic, and want to know everything going into their children's food, this book helps accomplish that feat. This is a great recipe book, that can be used in any pressure cooker not just the brand Instant Pot, that allows parents to make their children meals that are healthy, fresh, and easy. The use of the pressure cooker helps cut down on time drastically for those interested in making their own baby food. The recipes are not difficult, so they are parent-friendly as well. Another great part of this book is the fact most of this food is a cheaper alternative to buying the same thing already processed in the store. This will make a great addition to any parent's, grandparent's, or people who work with children's kitchen.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I got this book sort of as a "let's just see if it gives me any ideas" (we don't, and won't, have kids, so a baby cookbook may seem a little weird, but given that we have many nieces and nephews and a few more on the way, it seemed like maybe a good idea to check it out, so we can make stuff for them from time to time. Now, I'm so excited that I did.
An added bonus to this book is that many dog food treats you can make from home call for a jar of baby food, and this way you can make your own with bare minimum preservatives.
Now for the reason I was excited...this book is like a little cheat sheet for so many of the "not just for baby" foods, specifically all the grains and legumes. It's often very time consuming to go back and forth through different websites to figure out the best way to do any of those, and even then there is still some trial and error. For me, personally (we have the 6QT IP), the instructions on those all came out perfectly...super helpful.
