...[Around the World in 80 Purees] is just the thing if you would like to vary your baby's diet.... The great thing about these baby foods is that most of them (at least the ones I perused through) do not include crazy ingredients that you've never heard of or are hard to come by. For the most part, they all contain ingredients that you are familiar with, but maybe had never thought to put them together in such a way, especially for babies. -Mixed Bag Mama

(Bonus: these recipes are delicious enough for parents too.) -Christine Gross-Loh, bestselling author of The Path: What Chinese Philosophers Can Teach Us About the Good Life and Parenting without Borders
