Parents' bookshelf: feeding and cooking for babies
Written by the founder of Organix, Lizzie Vann, you won't find recipes in this cookbook advising you to turn baby food into funny faces or shapes. The recipes are for basics that kids adore - like the burger recipe that consists only of mince, onion, sage and breadcrumbs. Other favourites include, Little gourmet macaroni cheese, Chicken dippers, Fresh & fruity shakes and Fruit bread fingers. There's no need to make separate adult meals - a real winner with the whole family,
As down to earth as its contributor Lorraine Kelly, this book teaches mums the basics about how and what to feed your tot, as well as providing over 100 simple recipes for you to try. Ideal for busy mums.
Designed to cater for babies of up to one year old, this book is divided into three month sub-sections, each describing the key developments of your child, common problems and the important nutrients.

This cookbook is aimed at letting you raise a vegan family, just as
author Liz Cook has done. Trained with a degree in catering management and nutrition, she
used her expertise to come up with a wide range of recipes which can
be finely pureed for the smallest baby but can also be used to feed
the entire family. The only problem with this is book is that Cook's recipes generally feed six and therefore quantities need to be divided down if you are
feeding fewer people. Click here to read an interview with Liz Cook and sample her recipes. Where to next?
