While nutrition is important to me as a cook, I cannot make any claim in this review as a nutritionist or pediatrician. I cooked for my child without benefit of a book like this one. And I wish I had one then, but I find myself regularly in the position of needing to cook for those under three, without keeping any baby food or formula on hand. As a cook, this book has proven ideal in format, scope and approach.
Seeing what corporate control of the food supply has done to the rest of America, I have less than no faith in their claims to care about the most helpless of us. Neither do I have much faith in Agribusiness, especially seeing how food safety oversight has degenerated.
I am not trying to convert anyone to doing the cooking for young children all from scratch. And I do not fool myself into thinking that cooking from scratch will automatically address completely the above concerns. I just need to cook for kids upwards of six months. I want to do the best job possible without driving myself or anybody else nuts. My needs are completely met by using this book without all my old guess work and fussing.
Babies do not have a developed sense of smell and taste (they are combined for the cook). They will eat and drink poisons, such as chlorine, without batting an eye. My toddler daughter would tuck into fiery hot and sour soup at the local Beijing and Sichuan places to the astonishment, horror and amusement of their staff. I am not recommending that you feed your little ones chili, she just went for what was in reach. But they are amazingly resistant to food you think should be delicious to them. The answer cannot, must not be found in drenching everything in high fructose corn syrup, boxed cereals be damned.
