    Although I haven't used it yet, (Molly has another month to go) someone gave me Petite Appetite as a gift.  The recipes looks really delicious.  You may not even need a cookbook though. Single vegetable/fruit purees are pretty easy to make (steam or bake, then puree) and when they start eating chunkier or mixed foods, it can be right from the same meal you prepare for yourself.

    That website is great,  much much better than any book I found.

    I have an older edition of https://www.amazon.com/Super-Baby-Food-Ruth-Yaron/dp/0965260313

    she's really hard-core though, makes everything herself and spends way too many pgs on how to clean, what to use to clean baby's mouth, pots, pans, etc - but I call it my baby food bible b/c there are a lot of good ideas and she tells you when it's OK to intro what foods

    I like Annabel Karmel's First Meals.  (I haven't actually made anything from it yet, but I think I have enjoyed reading it and looking through it.)  Her Top 100 Baby Purees also looks good, but I don't have it yet.  Wholesomebabyfood.com is also very good.  I just like flipping through cookbooks sometimes, so I like having books around.

    I also have Ruth Yaron's Super Baby Food, but I'm not really a fan of it.  Her diet for babies is a little off the usual path, and in reading through it, I didn't feel comfortable that all of her advice was necessarily medically and nutritionally sound.  At least, there were too many statements where her only support was that her kids were healthy.

    Super Baby Food is a great reference, but I wouldn't follow all of her recs, she's a little crazy (and recs nuts for under 1!! ack!!)

    I also love all of Annabelle Karmel's books

    I only used wholesomebabyfood.com.  I didn't bother buying a book.  After all, most "recipes" for baby food are:  Steam, puree.

    Have fun!

    Ditto both.  Also, for fruits and veggies, it is fairly simple.  Core, cut up, steam (some require it, some don't), then puree.  Peaches are super easy since I buy organic and leave the skins on.  :)

    Ditto pp on the website - it has everything you need.  I bought a book but it wasn't as helpful as the website.

    I bought Petite Appetite and really liked it.  Making your own is super easy, I've never bought a jar of baby food.

    Totally agree. Best resource out there. No need to buy a book.
