It’s an exciting time when your baby is suddenly ready to try solid foods – fun but also challenging! You will probably want your child to eat the same wholesome foods you do, but the temptation is often to rush out and stock up on ready-made, processed baby food. After all, time is at a premium! 31 Lip-Smacking Wholesome Baby Purees shows you the healthy, safe alternative: delicious, easy to make purees with the simplest and freshest of ingredients – basically fruit and veg, most of which is easily available all year round. What’s really great is that you have complete control – no additives, preservatives, artificial colors, salt or sugar. The amount of kitchen equipment you need is minimal. Preparation time is usually as little as 5 minutes, and never more than 15. Brief cooking times means a maximum preservation of vitamins and other nutrients. Plus you end up with sensible quantities and lots of extra servings for future meals (and little or no waste). Nutritious, convenient and economical: the first recipes start off simple and they gradually progress to tantalizing two ingredient combinations, offering a whole range of flavors and colors, far more variety than you would get in store bought products. The book gives you guidance on introducing new foods in a way that reveals food intolerances and possible allergens before they can become a problem, and reduces the possibility that your child will become fussy about what they eat. In fact your little one is sure to love engaging with these recipes, and whether it’s a yummy fresh fruit blend or a lightly steamed vegetable concoction, or even a delicate fusion of a fruit with a veg, this is definitely the way to go when it’s time for solid foods.
