Review # 1 was written on 2014-11-10 00:00:00 James Maxey I picked up this cookbook at one of those crappy "Book Sales" where someone takes over a huge Big Box Store that closed and there were just piles of books every where. I saw one recipe that caught my eye and decided it was totally worth what the price was. I have made a TON of recipes from this cookbook... The Pumpkin Muffins recipe is one of our absolute favorites (I seriously fed our, then, two year old on those muffins for 12 months straight). There's a great raisin scones recipe, a good chili, a good sugar cookie (that we use for our Christmas cookies), and a couple of other good muffins. I found the descriptions of why you do certain baking steps to be very short, sweet, and to the point, rather than a lengthy scientific explanation that I've seen in other cookbooks. Its a good "normal person" explanation - like "use filtered water when making coffee/tea". Its obvious, but you never think about it. So, I appreciated it.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-28 00:00:00 Sheila Cook Picked up this book from the library to help us transition our 6-month old to solid foods. I liked that it was relatively short - just 120 pages of text, plus recipes. I skimmed over the section on formula/breastmilk, since we had already mastered that area. It covered the basics of introducing food (which was my main area of interest) in about 15 pages. It simply but adequately covered feeding needs of children up to 24 months. The book might be too simplistic for some, but it was just right for my first exposure to feeding infants. Lots of good information but not too overwelming.
