Ruth Yaron cares deeply about what your baby is eating--so much so that her bestselling Super
Baby Food is encyclopedic in both scope and size. Ounce for hefty ounce,
this manual/cookbook/reference guide is worth its weight in formula, packed as
it is with detailed information on homemade baby food, nutritional data, feeding
schedules, cooking techniques, recipes, and other invaluable feeding tips. Yaron
builds her compelling argument for making baby food at home on the simple premise
that food profoundly impacts health, especially when an infant's developing digestive
tract is involved. Parents will learn why babies should start out on rice porridge,
bananas, avocados, and sweet potatoes before advancing to more difficult-to-digest
foods such as wheat cereals and milk products. While Yaron's passionate stance
and vegetarian bias may turn off some parents, others will be grateful for her
strict attention to potentially harmful additives and chemicals. No matter what
their eating philosophy, most parents will appreciate the economy and surprising
ease of making baby food at home. This is not gourmet cooking; all you have to
do is learn how to boil water and operate a blender. For veggies, simply steam
some vegetable chunks and blend. For baby porridge, just grind some whole grains
in a blender and boil. It's that simple. And when you're feeding your baby, simple
is best. --Sumi Hahn
