I have a just under 6 month old, so we have just begun with first fruits and veggies, but so far this book is great. Easy to follow recipes/directions, great pictures, and each "recipe" tells you whether it is good for freezing, how long it takes to cook/prepare, how many portions, and most have additional "tips" or "facts". I can't wait to get to the other recipes as she gets older. This is one of several books I have about making my own baby food, but I seem to turn to it the most. It makes preparation seem easy and fun.
