From Library Journal
Vann founded Organix, her successful English organic children's food company, in 1991. Her cookbook offers 70 recipes for babies and children from four to seven months up through preschool age, along with lots of information on organic and natural foods, nutrition, and other health issues, in an appealing format that includes full-page color shots of the food and photographs of adorable, rosy-cheeked children. The recipes are easy and sometimes unusual, and though Vegetable and Coconut Korma or mashed Corn and Potato with herbs may be too adventurous for some children, others will love them. Sure to appeal to parents, this is recommended for all collections on cooking for children.

Customer Reviews

ridiculous book!
This book is terrible! The suggestions for what to feed a 4-7 month old baby are crazy. At the beginning of numerous recipes it suggests frying and onion, potatos, etc.! Why on earth would you fry anything for a 4 month old baby?!It also suggests cheddar cheese, and strawberries for babies under one year old. I am suprised the book doesn't mention sprinkling peanuts as a garnish on top of the fried onion, cheddar and strawberries. A basic understanding of babies and nutrition should be necessary if you are going to write a cook book for babies.

Not healthy
I think that whoever is writing a cookbook for kids should have a background in nutrition and should consider teaching kids to have a healthy eating habits. If you want your child to have good eating habits when he/she grows up this book isn't for you.

A must have- Organic MOMS
This book has great recipes and pictures too. I don't mind having to read, but when I cook, I want to know what it's going to look like. This book has the best of both. I love how they categorize everything by months, so you know what's appropriate to feed your baby at each age group. Try it, you'll love it!
