New Baby Food Recipes?
Our neighbors welcomed a new baby into their family about two weeks ago. I want to make some food that the family can either put in the freezer to pull out at a later date or make for a quick/easy dinner. There are two other toddlers in the house. It's been 20+ years since I've had a toddler in the house so I'm looking for ideas.
Suggestions of what this young family and likely overwhelmed mom would like??
I plan to include a batch of chocolate chip cookies because they are always a hit with young ones.
Lasagna is always a hit and re-heats well
Homemade mac and cheese

Ideas in Food: $15.75 Husband-and-wife duo Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot are this generation's hip young guides to the hows and whys of cooking, which they explain in 50 entertaining essays and then put into practice with 75 recipes for avid cooks to try at home. Home cooks are digging into once-geeky food science with astonishing vigor. While Harold McGee's landmark book on the subject, On Food and Cooking, is a bible of detailed technical information, Ideas in Food is the book for the current geek-chic cooking revolution. With its practical, hands-on approach to exploring and applying fascinating cooking techniques, it means anyone--at any level--can try this at home. Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot have an uncanny ability not only to understand cooking on a molecular level, but also to clearly communicate what's going on to those not trained in chemistry. Ideas in Food dives into the nuts and bolts of ingredients, cooking techniques, and tools, leading to astonishing--and astonishingly delicious--results. Readers will learn why roasting dried pasta results in a finished dish with a wonderfully rich flavor and catch up on fancy-sounding hydrocolloids--the talk of the food world for their use in making gels--and discover they probably have one in their own pantry--cornstarch! And home cooks can finally master homemade bread once they learn how different leavening agents--yeast, baking soda, and baking powder--work and contribute to flavor. Ideas in Food unleashes creativity in the kitchen and changes the way we think about cooking. |

Cooking all comes down to the recipes -- those ingredient-by-ingredient, technique-by-technique, step-by-step instructions. In Recipes, Susan Spungen, founding food editor and editorial director for food at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for twelve years, presents her own easy, unfettered ideas for cooking simple food rich with freshness and flavors to share with family and friends. Recipes is organized by technique, explaining why sautéing is great for two or four but when feeding a crowd braising is the better choice. Prepare focuses on the basics, from making a vinaigrette to roasting garlic and peppers. Chop includes not just salads, but gazpacho and a Provençal sandwich that requires knife skills. Sauté explains how to pan-sear fish and make a layered omelet. Grill shows proper techniques for cooking scallops, asparagus, and steak over an open fire. Roast offers the perfect roast chicken and a roasted squash salad. Bake features a variety of pizzas as well as mushrooms baked in parchment paper. Simmer and Braise coaxes the most flavors from soups and lamb shanks. Finally, there's Indulge, a selection of desserts from simple brownies and peach melba to a fruit crisp and a rich chocolate cake. Susan believes that one of the most pleasurable parts of a meal should be the making of it. Recipes encourages home cooks to become confident cooks. |
