This book is fab. I cook for twins who are 19 months old so I adapt the receipes to suit them. I think the recipes are very yummy, and my kids think so too. The aloha Kebabs are delicious - i cook extra for myself always. The children's favorite is the Avecado spread on their bread.
The meals take on average about 40 minutes in total including the prep, which isn't that long in my opinion and they are all so easy.
I know the slogan is to decpetively put vegetables in each meal, which I do as per the recipe, but I always put a seperate vegetable on the side of their meal so they learn to accept and eat them. My twins love their vegetables and enjoy eating these meals.
This book is a life saver. They are getting a variety of ... Read More:

While the author pays lip service to the importance of breastfeeding, this is really a formula feeding book:
- It gives no support whatsoever for the breast feeding mother, but minute advice about bottle feeding.
- The author makes very lightly of the risks of formula feeding.
- Several common misconceptions about breast feeding are reinforced, e.g. the myth that large babies need formula supplements and that many mothers have insufficient milk supplies. The phrase "pressures of modern life" offers a welcome excuse for women who cannot be bothered to commit themselves to what is REALLY the best nutrition for their child.
- The book assumes that at six months old a baby will have a full menu of three ... Read More:

I've bought lots through Amazon over the years and this is the first time I've felt strongly enough to write a review. I've no complaints about the information in this book, but I found the tone and style so offputting that I stopped reading after a couple of chapters and have given it away. Basically it felt like the author was making a lot of assumptions about my views just because I'm pregnant and a vegetarian (for example by speaking about the joys of creating life without taking life (i.e. eating meat)) and it made the book very annoying to read.
I guess I like the 'rough guide to pregnancy' style, which is peer-to-peer, modern, informative and amusing - in contrast this title felt like I'd gone back in time with traditional black and white ... Read More:

this is very comprehensive book that covers a wide range of factors that may be involved with a child who has serious issues relating to food and a fear of food. this book opens your eyes up to a whole world of sensory and motor developmental issues that you may have never considered, it urges you to open your mind, think differently about food culture and teaches you how to set about making a positive and individual eating plan for your child. a very good book if you are a parent like myself who has been ringing her hands in desperation knowing that the child will not eat when it get's hungry, because it will not eat!

I love my baby and want to give her the best, but let's be realistic. Desiccated liver? Hydrolized vegetable protein? Way too much information, way too much paranoia, way too much guilt. I've been a vegetarian for over ten years and believe strongly in the benefits of healthy eating, especially for my beautiful daughter, but it doesn't need to be this complicated.
I admire the thoroughness of this book and respect how much Ms. Yaron cares for her children. I just don't think most people will have the time or inclination to follow all her suggestions. Do yourself a favor and get a simpler book.
