If you had told me a year or so ago that I would own a small appliance dedicated to making baby food, I would have told you get out of town. But, I have to say, the Beaba Babycook machine has become an indispensable tool in our kitchen. That’s because what it does — steaming and pureeing — are two things we find ourselves doing all the time. And not just for our little girl! We spent a few months whipping sweet potatoes frothy, but these days, we use it mostly to heat up foods fast. Now, granted, there’s no microwave in our house, so plopping frozen veggies in this little machine is the fastest thing we got. It also does double duty as a mini food processor. My only complaint would be that the lid gets really, really hot after steaming, and prying it off without burning your fingers takes a skill. It’s pricey — $150 — and by no means a necessity. But, I do love ours (a gift) and think you’d be happy to get one, too. At williams-sonoma.com. — Angela M.I disagree with Angela on one point. After six months and counting, I do think our Babycook is a kitchen necessity. I'm absolutely confident that feeding twin babies has never been easier. And this blog sets out to prove not just why, but how. The months have taught me that I -- and by extension you, too -- can raise children who enjoy fresh food that is not far removed from the garden. And equally importantly, tastes delicious.
After all, if I can do it without a microwave, in a country far from the comfort of my native grocery stores [and ingredient lists that I can read without aid of a translator], you can too!
