BLW cookbooks

Can anyone recommend a/some good cookbooks for BLW?

I know the general idea is to give what we eat but we don't always all eat at same time (depending on uni lectures and nursery hours) and I worry that DD is not getting enough variety and veg

She's 8months if that makes a difference?

I saw BLW, what I really mean is DD finding it amusing to still throw the majority on the floor raised eyebrow emotion!!

Lots of good recipes on here

There is a BLW cookbook

I give DD things like sticks of cheddar cheese, slice of goats cheese (her favourite), canned salmon, leftovers from last night, wholewheat pasta spirals, homemade savoury muffins (take 20 mins with an electric mixer), beans on toast, jacket potato.

I hope that helps. Btw, DD is 7.5mo

I have both the BLW cookbook and the river cottage baby and toddler. I also use the BLW website. We have our meals together, but adapt ourselves to baby food. Our normal cooking has a lot of salt, and we also found DD can't eat fresh chillies (she cries). A few of our old favourites can be adapted, eg we had mac & cheese tonight. But others are like impossible, eg most stir fries like sweet & sour or kung po chicken, you just can't add salt on the table.

Thank you Smile

Very helpful!

I have pinched all the recipes from that website Grin

Hopefully she'll start eating more soon and not mushing it though her hair...Smile

lilham how old when you gave fresh chillies?

DH is a big chilli fan and excited to get DD onto them but I'm more cautious as I have a weak chilli pallet...

HumptyDumpty 6mo I think. We use chilies a lot in our cooking. DD is fine with chili powder and cayenne pepper though. Just not fresh chillies. We think maybe it numbs or burns her tongue and she doesn't like it.

Ahh Thank you :) I'll be getting some on the shopping today!
