New phrases such as ‘protective and preventative
nutrition’, ‘optimal nutritional balance’, and the words SMART foods are used,
although some may have never come across them, and what the word SMART stands
for. You’ll discover why a Mediterranean diet is always promoted and which
foods can ‘optimise immunity and brain development’.
This book supplies advice and suggestions under
eight headings, on what to cook, how to cook, store, freeze and reheat each
recipe, the length of time it can be stored, and which containers are best to
use for storage and freezing. Utensils
that aid food preparation are suggested with the safest plates, spoons and cups
to use for your child and why. Listed to make shopping easier, are items for
your freezer, fridge and pantry. Directions on how to cook by steaming,
boiling, blending and reheating are also included. Each recipe has information
keys on cooking, preparation time and if suitable for freezing.
There are ten tips on how to introduce solids to
baby, and Meal Planners that begin with First Tastes, Starter Foods, Purees and
the pairing up of fruit and vegies for pampering the palate. These tips advance
to brain-boosting foods using herbs and spices which help baby become
accustomed to different flavours.
The delicious budget-friendly and easy to prepare
recipes are recommended as suitable for the whole family. This eliminates the
need for separate cooking for your baby, although reinforced continuously, is
the no-salt rule for the very young. This supports healthy kidney development.
From baby’s first food to a complete menu for
toddlers, this outstanding book is ‘doctor approved and parent tested’. A
devotee of food preparation of all kinds, I found Smart Baby Cookbook an invaluable resource full of easy to follow
and prepare recipes and nutritious snacks. It provides new ideas on how to use
basic food combinations to create meals that boost baby’s immunity and brain
development that won’t cost more than you can afford in time and money.
