I thought the book had lost me with its tirade against those horrible pregnant women who cause their kids untold damage by not eating an all organic diet. Then I got to quail's eggs, and this book became a must-put-down.

Like 90% of Australians, I shop at Coles and Woolworths, where at any given time there are around 3 types of organic fruits and vegies, and I don't think my baby wants a bowl of onions. As for quail eggs, I didn't even know that was a thing you could buy. So this book loses all its points for being too fancy for parents, who are presumably its intended audience.

If I lived in England I might like this book more and have actually attempted some of the recipes. Clearly written for a UK audience, measurements are in kilograms, grams, and mls and used ingredients I'm unfamiliar with. I figure soya milk is soy milk, but I've never seen soya cream (maybe if I lived near a Whole Foods?) nor can I buy quail eggs anywhere around here. Still, I appreciate the kid-friendliness of the recipes, especially all the allergy-free desserts with holiday themes.
