Blogger and new mom Philia Kelnhofer is an expert at cooking up simple and nutritious meals for on-the-go families. But when it came time for her to introduce first foods to her baby, she was surprised by the challenges presented by seemingly simple purees. After making a mass batch of sweet potatoes that mostly went to waste, she tried out the baby food maker device, which steams and blends in one canister to make small, baby-sized quantities of food. She discovered she could create yummy, nourishing purees in just ten minutes—from Apple Cinnamon to Lemony Zucchini, and everything in between!
The Baby Food Maker Cookbook is the complete resource for parents who want to know what to feed the newest eaters in their families. Illustrated with beautiful photography, the 125 recipes are organized by the timeframe for introducing foods over the first twelve months. Plus, the book includes:
* A guide to using the baby food maker
* Nutrition information for first foods
* A handy calendar for tracking food introduction
* Adult-friendly dishes so you can use the device beyond baby
From single-ingredient purees to delicious treats like Apple Pear Cinnamon Sauce Yogurt Parfaits, Chickpea-Sweet Potato Spread, and Berry, Avocado, and Coconut Milk Smoothie, these recipes show how to make the most of your baby food maker—and are just what you need to support your baby’s development.
