Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron (1998, Paperback)

Here's the process of using the book..."OK, let's make some healthy baby food...Right, what chapter [flips through book}, six months Chapter is on page 250...complimentary proteins..on Page 400...[flips through book]...what's she on about super baby porridge...page 350..[more flipping]..Damn...baby's freaking out from hunger...right, sod this for a game of soldiers." [Opens a jar of organic commercial baby food].

There is good information in this book, but it is poorly organized, and buried in a lot of eccentric verbiage.

Plus, the author has a lot of bizaare beliefs - that there are 22 amino acids (which will surprise a lot of molecular biologists), and that you should stand away from blenders because of EMF radiation. It's harder to take the author seriously when she espouses some quack beliefs. And harder when she doesn't realize that working parents don't have the time to wade through her idiosyncratic ramblings to get to the information we need (how much should I feed, what foods should I mix with each other, etc).

Frustrated, I bought the Fresh Baby Kit, which, though more expensive, presented the information needed in a short cookbook + 1 card (!).
