This book is great there are so many ideas, I got this book free with a voucher from boots. My children loved all the meals I made them from this book it's really easy to use and really handy when your stuck for choices on what to make from them
We received this book through a parenting club and it quickly became my bible! I still use it today to help with new flavour combinations. It’s set out in easy to follow stages and most of the meals could be family favourites.
I absolutely loved this book!!!!!
With my children I always panic about chocking etc... and it never gets easier the more children you have so this book really put my mind at ease knowing it would be easy foods that there less likely to chock on
This is the prefer book for easy weaning recipes, especially when your just starting out and not sure what to do. All the recipes taste great and are perfect sizes for little tummies. The book is also easy to clean so if you get some food on it it’s easy to clean off.
This book is brilliant if you love new ideas for making baby food. Some great recipes i got this book for free at boots after buying ellas kitchen food and its definitely worth a read
Seems to recommend more meals per day than what on the NHS online

Picked his book up free from Boots using a coupon they sent me. Its a good read with lots if helpful recipes. The only thing I felt confused with is it said to give more meals per day than what the NHS guides say online. Overall handy to read for a first time mum with no weaning experience.
Really enjoyed making these recipes, easy and quick and every one of them were thoroughly enjoyed by both my son and daughter. Really helped with giving me ideas for foods to try on the weaning journey first time round too!
I got this free on the boots app during the baby event. It’s a very good book and has a lot of good ideas and information in it. Helpful for a first time mum!
Absolutely loved this book as a first time Mum. It provides information around commencing the weaning journey with your little one, and also gives some fab starter recipes to get you going. Definitely worth the buy!
I would make this compulsory reading for new mums! I didn’t have a clue how to wean and this handy guide made it so easy!
It has recipes as well as tips and photo guides.
I love this book, bought it when my son started weaning, it’s got recipes from their first tastes all the way up till they’re 12m + it’s so colourful with lots of handy hints and tips and a pull out weaning journey table. Definitely recommend to anyone especially if you’re struggling to think about different things to make.
I brought hundreds of books when weaning my first. This was the. Best book I had and the only one I’ve held onto for my second child as it really helped me. It’s simple yet useful. Gives you step by step and ingredients lists for each stage when weaning your baby. Fab buy.
This book is amazing m, especially for different recipes for weaning! Very easy to follow and easy cooking recipes
My little boy loved all the new foods we made
I loved this book for first introducing foods to my baby, very helpful easy to follow steps and cooking instructions, bonus I got free with my boots parenting offers
This is a great book to start your weaning journey. I got this recently to help me with my little boy I have an older child but as it has been 4 years I couldn’t actually remember much and this gives plenty of info.
The recipes are good especially as you add proteins in and it gives you lots of valuable info. Much more helpful than the baby books!
Love the Ella’s kitchen purple book. It’s really handy for recipes and new ideas for your little ones weaning journey as if you’re like me you’ll be stuck for ideas after the first week and I wanted my little boy to have a wide variety of tastes and textures in his diet which are also healthy. I do think the book is a little pricey but it’s very handy to have in the house.
Amazing lay out, easy to follow, simple instructions

I knew I would definitely need some help on our weaning adventure & this book just kept popping up whenever I was researching weaning so I decided to buy it. Bear in mind this is basically the “sneak peek” version of the book, there’s a full blown version for sale too.
It is so wonderfully written & the pages are so colourful, it really makes you excited to start weaning rather than panicky & anxious! I’ve literally just started & im trying the new vegetable each day for 2 weeks, using the purée recipes in here & it’s going really well so far. My son is really enjoying it. It also comes with a really helpful pull out sheet to fill in as you wean which will be a lovely keepsake for me to keep.
There are more recipes as your child gets used to eating actual food including recipes for the whole family to have. For me, some of these recipes sound a bit too fancy, as if Elijah has waltzed into a Gordon Ramsay restaurant & is ordering the finest cruisine, but a lot of them are stuff I would be happy to try.
It is a really helpful guide to weaning, and has basically been my go to guide so far!
I picked up this book using my Boots advantage card vouchers just after I had started weaning my daughter. The book gives detailed information on first tastes and how to develop recipes from there. Recipes are all very simple and easy to follow too. I found it very reassuring to know that the research I had done was similar to what was in the Ella’s kitchen book. Would highly recommend to a first time parent like me who is looking to start weaning. The step by step guide with the timeline was particularly helpful!
A nice little book with some helpful weaning advice and some recipes to make your own purees and little meals for older babies. It does seem a bit like an advert for Ella's kitchen but that can be forgiven considering the book is free for boots parenting club members.
I absolutely love the first tastes book from Elias kitchen, it is so informative and very useful/helpful for introducing those first foods. It gives you lots of recipes and introduces you to what foods to introduce when to your little one. Excellent book.
