Top 100 Finger Foods by Annabel Karmel -- Review




Top 100 Finger Foods: 100 Recipes for a Healthy, Happy Child Top 100 Finger Foods by Annabel Karmel

Following up on her hit bestseller Top 100 Baby Purees, Annabel Karmel presents Top 100 Finger Foods, a scrumptious guide to creating tasty tidbits that young children can really sink their teeth (or gums!) into. By the age of nine months, many babies are ready and eager to start feeding themselves. Although they might not be able to handle a spoon, children of this age can master the art of eating on their own -- as long as the food they're served is right-sized! Finger foods are the perfect solution.


This essential collection is packed with tempting, nourishing recipes for babies and older children -- from French Toast Fingers and Mini Chicken Sliders to Tuna Muffin Melts and Salad Lollipops -- helping you safely introduce new tastes and textures to your baby and ensuring that your child is healthy, happy, and content.
In Top 100 Finger Foods you will find:
• Delicious options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert
• Creative ideas for making hearty meals finger-friendly
• Important information on choking prevention and soothing suggestions for your teething little one
• Quick and easy recipes, using basic ingredients, that your child can prepare with you




Packed with wholesome fruits and vegetables, and innovative fish, meat, and chicken creations, Top 100 Finger Foods will satisfy the appetites of growing children -- and with dishes so tasty, parents will want to join in the fun, too. Eating with your hands has never been so delicious and nutritious!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I love love love love absolutely love this book! As my AppleBlossom has just started eating some pureed foods I have found myself curious about what is to come next. Then I happened upon Annabel Karmel. I just have to get more of her books!!


This book with the Top 100 Finger Foods has 100 recipes that are very easy to understand with great ingredients that I want to eat them. Literally as I turn the pages, my mouth waters. Not only are these finger food meals healthy, but they are fun and creative for the imagination. With as much fun as AppleBlossom has already with foods of different flavors, I am quite certain that she will enjoy the varying textures and colors of these finger food recipes.


Reading through this recipe book I am quite taken with Annabel Karmel and I am eager to jump into the book that comes before this one with Baby Purees. I highly recommend this book.

Cookbook: Amish Friends Cookbook Vol 2 from Wanda E. Brusnstetter

Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Cookbook Volume 2

Bring home-cooked dishes from the heart of Amish country into your kitchen with Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Cookbook Volume 2.

I believe it was in 2007, when author of Amish Christian Fiction Wanda E. Brunstetter brought us the Amish Friend's Cookbook. And now as of July 2009, also from Barbour Books and Wanda E. Brunstetter we have the second volume available.

  • Recipes from the Heart of Amish Country
  • Amish Facts Woven Throughout Add Appeal
  • Beautiful, Four-Color Interior and Quality Package
New, from Barbour's bestselling author of fiction, Wanda E. Brunstetter, is a follow-up to her popular Amish cookbook. Her Amish Friends Cookbook Volume 2 collectionis a treasure trove of recipes and interesting facts from the heart of Amish country. With recipes divided into sections including breads and rolls, desserts, main dishes, salads and sides, jams and jellies-- and more!-- you'll find only the best of home cooking between the pages of this delightful book. As an added bonus, you'll find featured facts about Amish life preceding each section of mouth-watering recipes. Topped off by one amazing package, cooks of all ages will have a hard time passing this one up!
With a good 200 recipes this cookbook provides with plenty of new things to add to your kitchen repertoire. I love the chapters that each tell you varying tidbits of Amish counties in multiple states. Probably for myself, if I had to choose a favorite chapter, it would be the beverages. I always get so bored with just water and there are only so many flavors of tea, but here you can learn Holiday Punch, Lemon Shake-Up, Amish Wine (alcohol free FYI), Homemade Hot Chocolate and several more. Love that!
