I bought this book as an alternative to Super baby food. What a disappointment. This book gives you recipes which are exact copies of earth's best jarred foods. Nothing new or exiciting. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your money.

I purchased this book because I was looking for help in making all of my son's baby food. The book doesn't really help with this, since all of the recipes are multi-ingredient, and (of course) when just starting out, you really need preparation instructions for single ingredient stuff.

I decided not to keep the book even after my baby was eating mixed food because: 1) The recipes are not very inventive (it was all stuff I would've come up with on my own); 2) The book is not very easy to work with (it's small and doesn't stay open to a given page very easily); 3) There are no illustrations or other aids to help you find ideas quickly.

A friend of mine brought over Super Baby Foods and I purchased that instead. I wish someone had mentioned *that* book to me before I'd bought this one - that's why I'm writing this review. If you're looking for help getting started making your own baby food, like I was, Super Baby Food is the book for you - not this one.

A must have for every mom and dad to be that plan on making their own baby food! The authors, Sweet and Bloom, do a great job of presenting a large variety of recipes that are also simple and easy to follow. No searching for California parsley tops like some of the other baby recipe books. My wife and I bought this book just after our son, Zachary, was born and we both found it's information presented in a clear and understandable way. This one is recommended to anyone wanting to go through the effort of making your own...and who wouldn't want to feed that special little baby the best food possible?!!! Good luck and good cooking!

This was the first book I read when I was looking into international adoption. Having completed the process (twice now) I found it to be the best. Gives a good summary of the process and the magnitude of what you are getting into. One thing I would strongly caution readers on is that the book was published in 1996 and things change very rapidly in many countries. It is a guide, not an up to date reference. However, it gives you good ammunition to go to your first adoption meeting with.

A nice book worth reading.

The first critic is not entirely correct. Depending on the country you adopt from and changes in the law made since the book was published the author is generally correct. There have been some changes since then. However, a person or couple should check with several agencies before they continue. They best thing to remember is keep trying. If you are not a fit for one country's adoption standards you can try another. Plus the agency generally knows the correct procedures and rules governing adoption. If the first critic thinks that anyone can adopt that person is deluded. Many factors come into play durring the course of adoption. But these are obstacles to overcome, not impasses.
