Hello

My baby is nearly 10 months so am going to attempt to cook meals that we and her can eat.... I'm not v good at cooking and lots of the books I've read reviews of on Amazon etc seem to miss out that stage and cater more for toddlers. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks! x

Have you looked at the Baby Led Weaning Cookbook by Gill Rapley.


It's great and full of solid basics that a 10month old (and you!) should enjoy - all low/no salt so then you just season your own as required. About a fiver on amazon, mine is so well-loved the spine is totally broken!

Definitely another vote for the Baby Led Weaning book. We've used it solidly for over a year - since Baby Belle was six months. Really tasty recipes, and easy to follow.


Also try the library - there are absolutely tons of cookbooks available to borrow. And I can also guarantee you can't go into a charity shop without seeing a shelf full of Annabel Karmel books.

Fay Ripley's first cookbook - changed my life - food all the family and a very fussy 18 month old (at the time) would eat. Sausage casserole is divine. Before that she hadn't really come off purees. basically it taught me how to cook!! Each fo the receipies are baby friendly - she tells you how to adapt for babies . My daughter is dairy free too and this has quite a lot in that work ok.

also look out slow cooker receipies - good for children as they make the meat very tender.

We also used the BLW cookbook to great success. We've just got it back from a friend so look forward to revisiting some old favourites. Have you had a look at the Sainsbury's Little Ones site? They have lots of recipes which are designed for the whole family http://www3.sainsburys.co.uk/littleones/

Another vote for Faye Ripley. I loved the first book so much that I was bought the second too. So I have double the choice - yay!!


She is the first to admit she's not a nutritionist, but has some very good ideas about what makes food tasty and interesting for kids. OK, so its a 'celeb' cookbook, but she's pretty down to earth. And her little commentaries make me laugh too.

Love to BLW and cook from it most days, but another recommendation is the books that Leon (good fast food) do. They are massive and good value on Amazon , lots of different recipes to incorporate special diets (I am a veggie). That's my new recommendation, but still recondite to BLW

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
