Customer Reviews of Fresh Baby So Easy Baby Food Kit (cookbook, Video, Trays & Card)
Customer Review: It is really "so easy"!
Summary: 5 Stars
Now first of all, I'd like to say that baby food making isn't for everyone. Yes, it can be time consuming. Sure, it's easier to pop open a container of ready-made applesauce or carrots. But I think that if you are shopping around for a baby food cookbook, then you must already feel as I do-- that store bought, commercial foods are full of preservatives, were made who knows when, and you just don't feel as good feeding your baby something that doesn't feel fresh. (You wouldn't eat a diet of entirely canned foods, would you?) That being said, I got this kit when I was pregnant and couldn't wait until my daughter was 6 months old to start trying some of the recipes.
First of all, the trays are AWESOME and don't bend or crack in the freezer. I started freezing breastmilk in them early on when she started teething. The second thing I love about this kit is the easy-to-follow cookbook. Seriously, it's easy. No intimidating recipes with multiple steps, just simple purees and suggestions for add-ins (such as cinnamon or lemon juice) and meal combinations (like peas & tofu). I now have a freezer shelf full of containers labeled with the puree and date made so I can keep track at a glance. Now 7 months, my baby typically eats 2-3 food cubes a day-- 1 at lunch with cereal and 2 at dinner. (She still breastfeeds a lot, so her solid intake is not as high as perhaps some other infants her age.) My sister got me a different baby food cookbook, and although the one she got me has beautiful photographs and has nice fancy recipes in it, some of them are so complicated that it feels like I'm making a huge mess and creating a separate gourmet meal for my baby. I always end of returning to the "So Easy" cookbook instead. I like the simplicity of a good 'ole puree, and you can combine fruits and veggies to your heart's content. It's also great because it has each food labeled with the best age to introduce, and comes with a nice handy chart that tells you good sources of a bunch of vitamins and minerals. The only negative thing I might have to say is that, like another reviewer mentioned, it does use a lot of microwave cooking. But honestly, microwaving in a minimal amount of water does retain most of the nutrients, and you use the cooking water to water down the puree, thus adding any lost nutrients right back into the food. But if this is a problem, of course you can cook in an oven or stove top if you prefer. Overall, this is a great kit and I'm definitely going to be getting it as a shower gift for my friends!
