Vegetarian Baby & Child

Quantum, 2002. Hardcover. Used: Acceptable. Hardback with D/J, internally good some creasing to D/J. 2002 Quantum edition. Vegan News Review - I am often asked about recipe books for vegan babies. Unfortunately, there are very few suitable books available and those that are available are generally American! This is a British book, written for parents of the vegetarian baby/child, but I am sure that anyone who is trying to raise a vegan baby in the UK will find it of some use. Chapter One: Covers babies of 4-8 months, providing recipes for lunch, tea and puddings. These early recipes are mainly based on fruit and vegetables, baby rice and a few other ingredients, likely to be found in most vegan store cupboards. All of the recipes in this section are suitable for a vegan baby, although a vegan baby milk should be used. Food preparation techniques (e.g. pureeing and sterilizing) and weaning are also covered. Chapter Two: Covers babies from 8-18 months and offers recipes for breakfast, lunch, puddings and tea. Common feeding problems are discussed. You will need to use vegan alternatives for milk, cheese and yogurt in quite a few of the recipes. Chapter Three: Covers toddlers and older children and apart from providing meal recipes, also has recipes for lunchboxes, snacks and party food. However, this section is not so useful for vegan children - a fair bit of substituting will be required and many of these recipes contain eggs or egg white, making them difficult to adapt for vegan children. - .
