This. Is. My. Favorite! Seriously. I love this book. I bought it on a whim as I was in a food rut for the baby and the adults. I have cooked probably about half of this book and have enjoyed nearly every recipe. Two have been ho-hum, but most have become regular staples.
For example, tropical pork, HECK YES. So easy and so good. My 11 month old at the time, carried around his pork medallion for over an hour, eating it and sucking on it, he was terribly upset when we decided pork was not the best thing to carry around the living room. We eat the mac n' cheese probably 2-4 times per month, and ricotta on toast, GENIUS! I don't want to ruin all the surprises, but what I can tell you is my guests with children probably think I am crazy, I have pulled this book down at birthday parties, dinner parties, and coffee dates, just to rave about it. Add cute pictures and great information, it is perfect.
We bought it as a baby led feeding family, but it has delicious purees, wonderful family meals, and great advice for all types of diets. It certainly helps bring out the adventurous eater in our little one!
UPDATE 7 years later!
We've added one kiddo in 2017, but this is still a go to book! I still make all the recipes above as well as a few others. Still recommend it to all new and seasoned parents. It really is such a sweet little book, hope you find some recipes you love as well!

Maple Graham Animals from Real Baby Food
Makes about 60 small crackers
Skip the trans fats and high-fructose corn syrup found in many processed animal crackers. Mix up this lightly sweetened whole-grain dough instead and cut away. Animal-shaped crackers are cute, but little circles and stars also delight.
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the two flours, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat in the butter, milk, and maple syrup just until a stiff dough forms.
3. Sprinkle a clean work surface with flour. Transfer the dough to the work surface and roll it out to ¼-inch thickness. Using small cookie cutters (about 1 ½-inches wide), cut shapes from the dough and place them on the baking sheet. Re-roll and cut the remaining dough. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.
Make Ahead: Keep the animal crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
