Can anyone recommend a good recipe book for toddler meals?

[Taurean]

DD was a really good eater but that all went pear shaped around one when her independence really kicked in and she realised she could either shake her head, push food away, clamp her mouth shut or simply say "No!"

We try to give DD what we are eating for dinner but she's not overly interested (and we eat really nice stuff IMO ). She can eat well but she's just a bit fussy these days and it's really annoying me. I would prefer to have a big cook up every so often so we always have meals on hand for her in the freezer so I think I need to invest in a really good recipe book for toddler meals.

Can anyone recommend one?

I can't recommend anything, but just wanted to say that fussiness is really normal and they do go off their dinner. I've never had separate meals for the kids though, they just get what we are eating, and if they don't eat it, I don't make them another meal or anything, they just go to bed without it. They still get milk though, so its not like I'm starving any of them. I was always wary of giving them lots of options for getting them to eat anything cos when you have more than one child, its really hard to keep up and I think it causes more trouble than its worth. But that could just be cos I have so many darn kids close together..

In the Coles Baby magazine you get when you join their Baby club, they have a few recipes with variations for different stages of solids eating.

PMSL!

I do the same - now We just take it away if she doesn't want it and she gets her bottle before bed. I do worry she's not getting enough good stuff though despite offering it to her - a lot!

We find it hard to eat with DD too as DH often isn't home until 6 or so and she's normally hungry around 5-5.30. So that's why I like a good stash in the freezer, for nights when our dinner isn't ready when she's due to eat, if that make sense.

I forgot about Annabel Karmel! Will check it out
