It my favourite so far of the weaning stuff that I have read. Good recipes, most fairly simple. I did find it a bit difficult to connect with. Very middle class, the writer has an International food market outside her house in London on Saturdays and reflects on and draws inspiration from this throughout. It is different. I am glad it was recommended to me. However I would like to see a... Troubleshooting?... Section as the book kinda creates this happy, stress-free weaning bubble but only two weeks in to weaning that it has been a bit stressful for us - I am sure we are not alone, although it can feel it when you are reading books like this full of happy smiling babies and 'easy' options!
