Cooking with Puree’s
February 1st, 2009 — Books, Cooking
Making your baby’s or toddler’s food needn’t be time consuming or complicated – and it allows you to control the quality of ingredients, taste and freshness. Written by Lisa Barnes, this cookbook takes all the guesswork out of cooking for young children. Each age-specific chapter features fresh and wholesome ingredients that are perfectly tailored to a growing child’s needs, from 6 months onwards. This essential volume begins with cereal grains and simple vegetable and fruit purees, then moves on to chunkier foods, and finally to real meals. Tempting photos and sound advice enhance the 80 recipes. Softcover, 143 pages. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive. $19.95 
As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to them. Her modus operandi? Her book is filled with traditional recipes that kids love, except they’re stealthily packed with veggies hidden in them so kids don’t even know! With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month’s worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear–out shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to deal with the kid that “must have” the latest sugar bomb cereal.
But this book also contains much more than recipes and tips. By solving problems on a practical level for parents, Seinfeld addresses the big picture issues that surround childhood obesity and its long–term (and ruinous) effects on the body. With the help of a prominent nutritionist, her book provides parents with an arsenal of information related to kids’ nutrition so parents understand why it’s important to throw in a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must have (as opposed to adults) in order to flourish now and in the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats. $14.99
