Annabel Karmel's New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner

Loved this book. As my baby started solids, although I did my research online I wanted more meal ideas and recipes of how to prepare the food according to age. I love that this is more than just a recipe book but she explains each weaning stage and the benefit of introducing specific foods as they get older. She also has meal planners which I don't always follow but is good to use as a guide to what my baby should be saying and when.

Simply the best baby and toddler meal planner out there. The best part is the many different meals which are all very healthy. Annabell K. has done it again. Recommended to all parents.

Any book by Annabel Karmel is well worth it. The recipes are easy and delicious. This book makes it easy to prepare delicious, healthy meals for your little ones.

Got it in good condition and quite helpful in making exciting meals for the little bubs.also good for planning what to eat

I received my books the other day and flipped thru them. Was happy with the quality and the recipes look fun to make.

Perfect for helping to give toddler correct portion sizes. I highly recommend to any parent of an infant or toddler.

When I look for a recipe book, I look for quick, simple and easy to freeze. There are a few recipes that are quick and easy. Most of the recipes require many ingredients, or take more time than I prefer to spend. If you like to be creative and create food artwork pieces then this is the book for you!

I saw this book at a friend's house, who just moved back from the U.K. and bought this book there. We both have daughters who are the same age, and spend a lot of time at each others house. After eating several meals together with the kids, I deceided that their food tasted much better than the things I cooked. The first time I made a receipe from the book, my husband came home and was all excited, smelling the flavours before he even entered the house, hoping this would be our dinner. Sadly, not only I had to tell him that I was cooking for our 1 year old daughter, but in addition fight him off tasting the food. My daughter is now 2 years 3 month old and I am still using receipes on a regualr basis from this book to cook dinner for the whole family. I highly recommened, especially for first time moms, who wonder what to make for thir child besides steamed carrots and broccoli. Very healthy receipes that taste AWESOME!!!!

Il libro e arrivato in ottime condizioni! Molto utile!

II am the mother of a one year old, who I did not have a clue how to feed. I know that a balanced diet with plenty of meat or fish, fruits and vegetables is a healthy one, but I did not know that babies do not benefit from low-fat products, can eat garlic, etc. My daughter eats most things, and I put a lot of that down to this book. There is a trial period of introducing foods, but all with delicious recipes to combine the foods that baby has tasted. There is a real emphasis on preparing baby for being less picky in later childhood, and letting youngsters enjoy more adult meals instead of the sausage and chips offered on restaurant menus. It has a lot of easy to follow recipes, some of which are easy to prepare, some of which take a lot longer. The beauty is that you can take or leave each one. Each recipe comes with an asterisk to indicate that you can freeze the meals (totally necessary unless you want to be making purees every day for the younger babies), and each chapter, based on age and development, begins with nutritional information appropriate to each age group. I found this useful for creating my own recipes. I found some of the ingredients to be a little pricey or difficult to find, as I live in Japan, but I assume if you live in the U.K. that might not be much of a problem. The meal planners also gave you an idea of the quantity to give your child, which I was also very unsure about. On the negative side, I found a lot of the recipes included her own recipe for home made stock. This can be refrigerated for 3 days, so every week, you have to make two lots of stock. This is very fiddly and impossible if you don't have access to whole chickens. A lot of the recipes included cheese too. Although my daughter has come to really like cheese..not sure if that is a good thing or not. On the whole I thought it was a very good buy. A lot of the toddler recipes can be used to make meals for the whole family, reducing the amount of seperate meals you have to make. I would definitely recommend it, especially to new parents, because it really does take you by the hand and tell you what to do.

I bought this book when I had my second child, having weaned my first child purely on tins and jars of baby food. I so wanted to avoid the multitude of nasty looking baby food in the supermarket with a shelf life of 25 years but really didn't know where to start because I was confused about what vitamins and nutrients were important for my baby's healthy development. This book, together with the Baby Meal Planner by Nicola Graimes, showed me the way and gave me the confidence to prepare lovely food for my babies. I am surprised by the amount of reviews that comment negatively on the huge variety of fruit and vegetables in these books. For me and my family it paved the way to much improved, healthier more interesting mealtimes and has given me the confidence to try all kinds of foods I would never have bothered with in the past. As for cooking just for the children, this never happened in my house because all of the recipes are easily adapted for the whole family. I agree that for more accomplished cooks these books may seem a little basic and boring, however, if you are lacking in confidence and a bit confused about what kind of foods you can give your baby and when, then I would suggest you give this book a go. I am now the confident, proud mother of four beautiful boys who all have very healthy appetites. As for the dreaded sugar and salt, I would say everything in moderation and use your common sense. I omitted the salt from most recipes and used low-salt stock cubes. In my experience children who are never allowed anything sweet or salty are always the ones shoving handfuls of sweets and goodies in their mouths at parties - forbidden fruit? And how will they ever learn about self-control if you don't allow them to have anything other than a carrot stick?

Great when I was a first time mum and then again when my ideas were waning for healthy, dinners for my picky 13 month old. Sent a copy yo a friend who also loved it.
