Book #10 - First Meals: The Complete Cookbook and Nutrition Guide, Annabel Karmel
Recommended, if for no other reason than the neat food pictures. :)
Synopsis from bn.com:
"Completely revised, First Meals bursts with dozens of new color photographs and more than 200 recipes to entice even the fussiest baby or toddler. This classic cookbook covers the essentials-from flavorful first purées, winning lunchbox combos and easy-to-make family meals to finger-licking picnic and party noshes-while delighting the eye and providing hardworking information on nutrition, preparation and cooking times, freezing instructions, and tips on how to handle food allergies, additives, and tricky eaters."
I'm struggling through figuring out what table foods to feed the boy. He has an aversion to things that he can squish or are slimy. Crunchy things like Cheerios and Goldfish are gobbled down with great enthusiasm. And he'll eat pretty much anything that is spoonfed to him. But if he has to pick it up? No deal. :/
This book had some really fun recipes in it. I'm going to purchase a copy to keep on hand so we can reference it as the boy gains teeth and some better table habits.
