Nutritious and Delicious Baby Food Cookbook Challenge, Part II

Next I read some old books.  Natural Baby Food Cookbook by Margaret Kenda and Phyllis Williams, written in the 1980s, sounded good to me.  It goes into detail why homemade baby food is best for baby as opposed to jarred baby food. If you haven’t made up your mind about making your own baby food, this may compel you to at least try. The information is solid, groundbreaking for its time, but slightly outdated in our time.  I admire how knowledgeable the authors are about nutrition and health, but I didn’t find an emphasis on taste.  In all fairness, I haven’t tried any of its recipes.  The format is certainly dated, and I think would turn many people off simply because of that reason. It’s a good primer for people who don’t know anything about making child nutrition, baby food, feeding your baby or storing. Otherwise, there are more up-to-date books out there with a more modern feel. The other book I thumbed through (no, I didn’t read it) was  The Complete New Guide to Preparing Baby Food by Sue Castle.  The book wasn’t appealing to me, and contained much of the same information as the previous book, except more mainstream and less healthy options.
