Although I do not have an instant pot, nor plan on getting one anytime soon, I was still curious to read this book, and I'm glad I did.

This book is full of easy recipes and ideas. I really liked all the pictures too. I found myself saying quite often, "huh I never thought of combing those ingredients." Which is always a great thing to say while reading a cookbook. I am happy to have these ideas in one place before I have kids, that way I know where to look when I need inspiration or help.

In the end I gave this book 3 stars on Goodreads.

I requested this book because I wanted to see if it is worth investing in a slow cooker to prepare food for my babies. The book did a good job to explain how it works and I found some interesting recipes.

I got this book sort of as a "let's just see if it gives me any ideas" (we don't, and won't, have kids, so a baby cookbook may seem a little weird, but given that we have many nieces and nephews and a few more on the way, it seemed like maybe a good idea to check it out, so we can make stuff for them from time to time. Now, I'm so excited that I did.
An added bonus to this book is that many dog food treats you can make from home call for a jar of baby food, and this way you can make your own with bare minimum preservatives.
Now for the reason I was excited...this book is like a little cheat sheet for so many of the "not just for baby" foods, specifically all the grains and legumes. It's often very time consuming to go back and forth through different websites to figure out the best way to do any of those, and even then there is still some trial and error. For me, personally (we have the 6QT IP), the instructions on those all came out perfectly...super helpful.

Was accepted but it then would not let me download. It just disappeared from the Start Reading tab. Disappointing!

In this day and age when everyone is trying to eat less processed foods, parents want to invest in organic, and want to know everything going into their children's food, this book helps accomplish that feat. This is a great recipe book, that can be used in any pressure cooker not just the brand Instant Pot, that allows parents to make their children meals that are healthy, fresh, and easy. The use of the pressure cooker helps cut down on time drastically for those interested in making their own baby food. The recipes are not difficult, so they are parent-friendly as well. Another great part of this book is the fact most of this food is a cheaper alternative to buying the same thing already processed in the store. This will make a great addition to any parent's, grandparent's, or people who work with children's kitchen.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
