First Foods is a how-to book with a wealth of tips, delicious recipes for young children, and suggestions on making and eating food as a family. Throughout the book, readers can see how food shapes the life of a family from nursing, early childhood, and including children in preparing meals together. From the moment a child is welcomed into the family, food becomes a focus. As parents, we must pay attention to nutrition, variety, and the connectedness we have during meal times. That connection grows as our children become independent eaters, contributors to family meals, and caregivers for others through food. This book is the story of using a Montessori approach to become a family who values food and community. We don't always get it right, but as with anything, we keep trying.First Foods is a complete family meals handbook. It covers everything from nursing to grocery shopping with children to setting up your kitchen tools so children can prepare meals independently. It is perfect for new parents, families with young children, and grandparents who want to enjoy preparing food alongside their grandchildren. Readers will benefit from Sarah Moudry's years of experience with her own children and teaching parent-child cooking classes. First Foods also reflects Moudry's own attempts to live slowly and in the moment with her family. Her focus on intentionality around food and meals is clear throughout the book.If you're looking for a cookbook for young children that gives you the whole picture, not just simple recipes, this is it. If you want to be more intentional around family meals, this book will give you that support. If you have a young child about to start solid foods, this book will guide you through weaning and help you to set up all aspects of your family meals.

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.
