"Keep this book in your kitchen and your baby is guaranteed the very best start in life."

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

not so much a baby meal planner as a family planner!
great recipes (shame no pics tho - i do like a recipe book to have pics) which we are still using in our house (not just the toddler recipes) cos they're healthy, low on salt, sugar ecetera and as littlun has got older we've just stopped pureeing them.

good buy and plenty of scope for improvisation if you don't have the exact ingredients

Baby & Toddler Food Bible
What a fabulous book! I bought this book when my little girl was 3 months old, after a discussion on food with my health visitor and fellow new mums. I started using it when my little one was 6 months old and haven't looked back since, and she's now 18 months old. There are so many recipes to try, and it's very good how the book has recipes for each stage of your baby. The dishes are delicious - I've even served the "Sweet Potato with Spinach and Peas" at a meal for friends and everyone loved it! Also check out the "Pineapple & Raisin Muffins" - they don't last long in our house! My little girl has loved most of the recipes and where occasionally she's not sure, I just wait a few weeks and try again. On the whole she loves the food I've cooked her from this book, and my husband keeps asking me to cook the recipes for him too as they taste so good! This most definately is THE baby & toddler food bible. If you don't buy any other baby/toddler food books, buy this one.

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!
