Editorial Reviews:

Feeding the Whole Family starts with the basics of creating a whole foods diet, from understanding grains and beans to determining what meats are acceptable to eat. Author Cynthia Lair then applies these lessons to cooking for young children and babies aged six months and older. She explains how to adapt each recipe separately for both children's and adults' palates. This updated edition includes the most current nutritional research along with 65 delicious new recipes, including meat dishes.

Summary: one of my top 3 cookbooks
Comment: Though I have other nutrition-focused cookbooks, this is the one I use most. The nutritional information is concise and sufficient for a person of average needs. Many of its recipes are incredibly delicious and they utilize a good variety of foods. Also, I love how it incorporates adjustments to include feeding young children.
I live in a small town which has a grocery store with a moderate selection of 'health food' items and I haven't yet had difficulty finding ingredients, with the exception of the sea vegetables. The book's recipes tend to be simple and easy to make. I found it very useful to have a spice grinder for grinding grains and a blender will come in handy as well, especially if you are interested in providing food for a child starting solids.

Summary: Pretty good
Comment: I wanted to like this book. I don't like the idea of making a bunch of baby food purees and I'd rather just feed the baby what I'm eating. But... when I got the book, I read that the author is vegetarian and most of the recipes were veggie with all of that weird stuff that entails. Like eating a bunch of dried seaweed to get the vitamins and minerals us meat-eaters get by eating meat. There were a few meat recipes, but it's sort of too crunchy (a la Laurel's Kitchen) for me. I think I'll be using this more when my kid is older.

Summary: Great ideas
Comment: This cookbook has some really great ideas, and I think I will use it more when my son is eating a more varied & textured diet (7 months now), there aren't a ton of recipes that can be adapted for a baby mainly eating purees. Most of the recipes use basic ingredients, but there are several with ingredients that are harder to find.

Summary: Not what I was looking for
Comment: I returned this cook book. It had recipes that were difficult and hard to find ingredients. I live in medium sized town in the midwest and it suggested buying ingredients at an Asian specialty market. Just not practical for me or my family.

Summary: still loving it
Comment: I bought this book (with the old purple cover -- Feeding the Whole Family: Whole Foods Recipes for Babies, Young Children and Their Parents) when my girls were babies. They're now 11 and 9, and we still go back to it for certain beloved recipes, especially the beet salad, the one with the greens -- the only way my family can really enjoy beets, and we really enjoy this salad. It is one of the few family cookbooks that has healthy recipes my children actually liked (they like a lot of healthy food, but many family cookbooks have a lot of fat, meat, white flour, and sweets, and feel the need to disguise vegetables). I took the ideas on breaking down a meal to feed parents, toddlers, and infants, and applied them to other foods. I highly recommend this book -- I'm back here because I'm considering getting some copies for family members with young children.
