The recipes seemed really simple and straightforward and I think it’s a great resource for parents who are new to cooking as well as those who need quick recipe ideas. I wish there was a little more guidance on how to get started... I keep hearing I should start by introducing just one food at a time but I’m not really sure when to go from that to creating these simple recipes!
I appreciated that there was an effort to include recipes inspired by flavors around the world. Many BLW resources I’ve seen tend to center around White American culture and as such I’ve been hesitating on when and how I might introduce food from our cultural background to our baby. Seeing suggestions for a variety of flavor profiles felt like “permission” to include my family recipes in my baby’s early food experiences. Tonight I made the Thai Chicken Meatballs from the book and gave a finger-shaped one to my baby and she seemed to like it!
I’ve been nervous about giving baby ANY salt so I appreciated the little footnotes that shared when there was salt in the recipe components or other advice on how to keep the nutrients baby-appropriate.

I liked the introduction and concept of baby led weaning. However, I am a parent with celiacs disease as well as dairy, soy and corn intolerances (and gallbladder dysfunction) so 99% of these recipes I can’t make because they contain ingredients I can’t have or I don’t buy because I get sick. Unfortunately not a cookbook for my family.

Some good ideas in here, but also lots of “filler” recipes (eg., recipe for a fruit salad). I saved a bunch of them but am yet to make any. I will update my review if they turn out to be exceptional recipes.

This was a really nice reference book. We started BLW a month ago, so I picked this up to get some fun recipe ideas. The information in the beginning was a nice crash course too.
