Editorial Review:
Stuck for ideas at tea-time? Looking for meat-free snacks for lunch? Baby and Child Vegetarian Recipes is invaluable to the vegetarian family and will quickly become and old friend in the kitchen. It is packed with more than 150 recipes for babies and toddlers, almost all accompanied and brought to life by comments from the author, Carol Timperley. Her relaxed and very personal approach to the presentation of her family favourites makes this chunky little book particularly unintimidating--something mums and dads will appreciate during the often stressful time of weaning baby and feeding young children.
The five chapters of the book, each introduced with heaps of practical advice including menu charts, cover stages in the development of a child's eating habits from the first taste to toddlerhood. Recipes range from basic purées and staples such as macaroni cheese and bubble and squeak to the more sophisticated Hungarian stuffed marrow and avocado and cottage cheese dip. Recipes are clearly presented and include boxes in which to register your child's reaction--no one is pretending it is always easy to feed youngsters!
An added bonus to this already excellent book are Stephen May's humorous illustrations. The leap-frogging grains of rice and the potatoes enjoying a hot tub are bound to raise a smile and could prove useful for parents wishing to encourage an awareness of cooking in their children. As Carol Timperley says in her introduction: An appreciation of good food is one of the greatest of all gifts you can give your child.
Fully endorsed by the Vegetarian Society and approves by consultant nutritionist Jane Brophy, this book will be an inspiration to busy parents. --Dale Evans

Should be called 'Baby, Child and Adult Vegetarian Recipes' A fantastic book full of advice and recipes in an approachable style. My children are now both at school but we still use recipes (or variations of them) from this book. It helps you through the early days of weaning with lots of suggestions that can be easily fitted around the demands of a young family. It clearly explains what can be added (ingredients and textures) along the way and how to ensure your child has a balanced diet. Many of the recipes can be frozen, which means you can cook in bulk when you... more info
Fantastic Veggie Baby Book! This book is fantastic for Mums who want to give their baby a veggie diet. I only wish I'd found it sooner! The book is divided into the different stages your baby goes through so it's easy to find recipes that will suit your babys age. The recipes are easy to follow and have all been a hit with my little one.
Must have cook book! This is a real winner; I would never have thought my 8 month old would be eating curries, but he has loved every single recipe I have cooked in this book so far. I've not stopped cooking since I got it! It has made catering for the family so easy; I just double the ingredients to make enough to batch freeze for my son, and a meal for the 3 of us. I honestly think my vegetarian diet has improved as a result of this book. I would recommend it to everyone, meat eaters included.
Fantastic! I love this book! I'm a hopeless cook, but determined to bring up my daughter on a varied vegetarian diet of homecooked food rather than ready-made stuff. As well as many recipes, the book also contains sample weekly menu plans - particularly useful for the early weeks of weaning. All recipes also indicate whether or not they'll freeze well.
