I really like this book. The recipes are yummy and for the most part simple. I also like that they have the nutritional information, meal suggestions, time saving tips, etc. If you are pregnant or just want a good cookbook, I would definitely recommend this book.
This is a great cookbook. I especially love their breakfast recipes - the whole wheat pecan waffles are to die for. The recipes are honestly family friendly, and many of them use ingredients that most people have on hand. I think the only thing I had to buy specifically for the first 4 recipes I tried was plain yogurt. I had everything else on hand already. That never happens!
The book lists some nutrition info for each recipe, but not a whole lot. It tells you which vitamins the prepared food provides for your baby and why they're important, but you really don't have to be pregnant to enjoy the food presented. The only thing I wish it had was a better table of contents. Recipes can be difficult to find within the book.
This pregnancy book is fabulous. It's packed full of practical information and tips for coping. The shopping lists are great and the recipes are so tasty, you forget they are healthy too. The author has obviously done her research. My family love the grilled flank steak with salsa verde.
I highly recommend this book. If you know someone who wants to do everything they can to have a healthy pregnancy and baby, it's the perfect gift.
