Book Description
Nourished Beginnings Baby Food is a natural fit for the traditional, whole-food diet and way of life made popular by the Weston A. Price Foundation and the associated book Nourishing Traditions. Renee Kohley, founder of Raising Generation Nourished and a mother who has raised healthy three daughters with this approach, packs 100 nutrient-dense recipes for babies of all ages into the book, along with tips to help readers be successful. To introduce your baby to solids gently, try a soft-boiled pasteurized egg yolk with nutrient-dense grated liver and sea salt, or pureed peas with nurturing homemade bone broth and grass-fed butter or steamed berries with coconut butter. As your baby gets older, you can introduce more diverse flavors and textures like Roasted Root Vegetable Soup, Grain-Free Breakfast Biscuit or Grassfed Beef Stew with Marrow. To transition into toddlerhood and a full, well-rounded diet, you can begin to incorporate grains, nuts, legumes and natural sweeteners with dishes like Soaked Quinoa Granola, Asian Stir Fry with Rice and even an occasional treat such as The Perfect First Birthday Cupcake. Most of the recipes serve baby and the whole family, so you can nourish more hungry mouths faster, easier and even cheaper. With the recipes for this traditional, whole-foods approach, your child will develop an adventurous palate and good eating habits to carry them through life healthfully.

"Nourished Beginnings Baby Food delivers approachable, inspired recipes enveloped in practical, grounded guidance that's otherwise missing in the dialogue on first foods. Renee Kohley shows you not only how to optimally nourish your children as they begin solid foods, but many of her recipes will likely become favorites for the whole family."

When it comes to elegantly simple recipes proven to be both nourishing and delicious, Renee positively shines. The simple ingredients and flavors are sure to be a hit in my home as well as others. Five stars!
