Not overly impressed (0/0 people found this helpful)

I must say I was disappointed with this book. I thought it was going to be better. There isn't actually that many 'recipes' and what there is isn't too exciting anyway. My daughter likes one or two of them, but unfortunately it's just not a great book.

I was struggling to think up new finger food ideas for my 11 month old son. My sister watches my son 1 day a week and finds it hard to feed him and her 5 month old daughter at the same time. The recipes in this book allow her to feed her daughter and leave my son to feed himself. Although the book was written by a vegetarian, there are some meat recipes included. The vegetarian slant meant that there are some recipes with ingredients that I wouldn't have normally used (lentils, polenta).
The book is well laid out and beautifully illustrated. There is useful nutritional and storage information. I would say that the recipes are suitable for the older baby and there are still some recipes I won't be using until my son is a bit older.
There are "treat" recipes included and the blueberry muffins are great - a low sugar option and birthday treat for my son who loves blueberries!

Not very helpful (1/1 people found this helpful)

I did Baby-led weaning and found this book to be unhelpful for this approach. I thought as it was entitled finger foods for babies and toddlers it would be ideal. The book seemed to be geared more towards one year olds and up. I wouldn't recommend putting salt in any food for a child who was under one. I wasn't overly keen on most of the recipes anyway. I have to say it is sitting on the shelf unused.

Great ideas for finger foods (2/3 people found this helpful)

This book has lots of fantastic ideas on finger foods and quick meals at teatime. Which is great when you are in a hurry and want to prepare a quick healthy meal. Everyone I have bought this book for also thought it was great.

pretty much perfect for what I wanted (3/3 people found this helpful)

I'm really pleased with this book. The recipes all use items which I've heard of and are easily to get hold of, and don't involve spending the whole day preparing. My 20 month old also enjoys "helping" me make some of the more treat-like recipes, which goes a long way to pursuading her to eat occasionally. My favourite thing about the book however is that most if not all of them have a veggie alternative, which means we can cook one meal which everyone in the family will eat. I would say however that if you fancy yourself as a bit of a Delia in the kitchen it's not necessarily for you as simplicity seems to be the name of the game. For me however, a working Mum with good intentions, it's just great.
