Synopsis
Since it was published in 1991, Annabel Karmel's essential guide to feeding babies and young children has become established as a classic. Word-of mouth recommendation, a thumbs up from the babies themselves and terrific reviews have ensured that the book has remained the number one bestseller in this area ever since. In this new edition, Annabel has brought her collection of mouthwatering recipes completely up to date, and included ten new dishes. Plus she offers time-saving tips and reassuring menu charts to help you shop and plan ahead, all based on her experiences as a busy mother of three. Keep this book in your kitchen and your baby is guaranteed the very best start in life.

From the Publisher
Already a successful harpist, singer and actress juggling her international career with her role as a mother, Annabel Karmel found herself with a difficult child to feed and no satisfactory source of help. So she turned to and researched thoroughly every aspect of feeding babies and children - and carved herself out yet another career as the top guru on the subject., with six books currently in print with Ebury and regular articles and recipes in national newspapers and magazines. The New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner is the second highest selling cookbook in Britain - over a million sales so far, continuing at a steady 20,000 a year - and is endorsed by a leading paediatrician from Great Ormond Street. The Guardian called her `the Delia Smith of cooking for children'; the Express `the best selling author and leading authority on feeding children'; and Baby magazine wrote `Annabel Karmel has acquired a reputation as a designer of nutritious and popular children's food that is also simple to prepare.' And don't forget to look at her other children's cookbooks - Annabel Karmel's Small Helpings, Annabel Karmel's Quick Children's Meals, Annabel Karmel's New Baby and Toddler Cookbook, Annabel Karmel's Family Meal Planner and Annabel Karmel's Complete Party Planner.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic!
I've had this book a few weeks now and tried many of the recipes for my 7 month old son. He loves them all and can't wait to try something new. You can turn a lot of them into soups for adults and they are really tasty. My freezer is now stocked up with loads of healthy meals. This book is a must for weaning and beyond!

Need to be careful with the recipes
I thought baby under 1 year old shouldn't have sugar, butter, salt....,this book has a lot of ideas but a lot of recipes have sugar, butter and salt, if some mums are not careful and follow this exactly, I'm not sure this is good for the baby. Baby won't know the salt, sugar and butter taste until they try it. I only use this book for ideas but I think the author should be careful with this things on the book. This book shouldn't be called healthy recipes!!!

Caution
My daughter had an allergic reaction to Annabel's recipe for Apple & Cinnamon. I later discovered that cinnamon can cause anaphylactic shock (a severe reaction, which can be life threatening). I feel this recipe should carry a warning to alert parents to this possibility, and will be more reluctant to follow Annabel's tips in future.
