Nourished Beginnings Baby Food: Nutrient-Dense Recipes for Infants, Toddlers and Beyond Inspired by Ancient Wisdom and Tradition

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.
