All parents want the best for their children, to give them the perfect start in life, and that includes the food they eat. However, choosing the freshest foods and preparing them in the most beneficial and appealing ways is not always an easy task. In SuperFoods, bestselling author Annabel Karmel shows you how to combine creativity with delicious ingredients in order to provide your child with a healthy foundation. You'll find recipes that not only taste great but also maximize the nutritional power of certain foods to boost your child's health and well-being. And Annabel, a mother of three who has written fourteen bestselling books on healthy food for children, knows better than anyone not only what children should eat but what children will eat. From advice on steaming carrots to detailed weekly menus for every stage of development, Annabel's unwavering expertise will teach parents how to provide the nutrition their children need. SuperFoods is both a cookbook and a reference manual, helping parents recognize the varied nutritional value in even the simplest foods. Eating by color -- Annabel's advice for choosing produce -- encourages parents to use foods in tempting combinations. With a focus on the basic components of your child's diet -- carbohydrates, proteins, and fats -- Annabel provides easy instructions for crafting balanced meals. SuperFoods will guide you through your child's first five years -- from first foods for your baby to tasty meals for fussy toddlers, from scrumptious lunch-box ideas for school-children to irresistible family suppers. Food is both nourishment and nutrition, and Annabel Karmel's SuperFoods puts fun back in the equation. In addition to a variety of delicious recipes and invaluable advice, SuperFoods also includes: - More than 130 recipes suitable for children of all ages -- from the best first foods to tasty family meals.
- Menu charts to help you plan ahead -- most recipes are suitable for freezing.
- Information on how to avoid food allergies and common childhood complaints such as colic, constipation, and eczema. Suggestions for healthy convenience foods to keep in the pantry.
- Tasty recipes that harness the power of SuperFoods to promote growth and energy and boost immunity and brain power.
And much, much more!

Summary: Good Recipes, but for Toddlers
Comment: I like the recipes in this book, and look forward to making them for my 11-month-old when she's a little older. I was disappointed that the author doesn't seem to recognize that some foods are inappropriate for babies, such as corn, shellfish, and peanut butter. I've chosen and then had to discard several recipes after doing further on-line research on the ingredients. As a new(ish) mom, I don't have extra time as it is!

Summary: Item never received
Comment: After waiting nearly a month, I never received this item so I can't review it. However, I can review the seller which I do not recommend. I tried contacting them twice and never got a reply. No explanation as to why it never arrived. I'm only hoping that with the help of Amazon I will not be charged.
Customer Rating:
Summary: overdone
Comment: I just thought this book had less content than glossy pictures and recipes included ingredients not normally found in one's cupboard. I gave this as a gift, but would look for something more "parent" friendly and easier to use in the future. Also takes up much bookshelf space for the amount of use it will probably get.

Summary: More than just recipes! Everything you need for starting your child on the road to healthy eating!
Comment: If you have a baby or young child, you may already know that it is not always easy to feed them healthy or nutritious meals. Sometimes it's not all that easy to plan them either. Your child might be a picky eater, or you might be in need of some healthy recipes to make mealtime fun for your family. If you want to give your child a great start in life, the best way is to provide them with a balance of healthy foods. But where do parents begin to look?
One such place is in the book, "SuperFoods for Babies and Children," by Annabel Karmel. What an excellent resource! Here are just a few of the wonderful treasures we found in this informative book:
* Detailed, healthy recipes for main meals and desserts, categorized by age;
*Sample meal planners, categorized by age;
*Numerous food tips and the importance of a variety of each of the foods in our everyday diet;
*What foods you should avoid giving your baby;
*How to shop for healthy foods;
*Much information on eating "superfoods" by colors and how you can give your child the best start in life by eating a well-balanced diet.
This book also has a section that discusses food allergies and lists foods to cure common ailments.
The steps are clearly detailed beginning at 6 months of age -- what foods you should begin introducing to your child...how to know if they are ready for solids...how to make baby food...and sample meal planners for the first 4 weeks of first solid foods. There are large colorful photographs of meals, and cute vegetable and fruit illustrations throughout the book. Short "Did you know?" facts and other side bar tips give you a quick look at important food information and how those foods can benefit our bodies.
MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- informative content, clear appetizing food photos, and an abundance of ideas, make this book a winner! But be warned -- you might have some real fun creating these meals, and your child may beg you to make more healthy meals for them!
