Practical Cooking for Babies and Toddlers contains more than 100 delicious recipes for babies over six months of age. Using a minimum of ingredients and step-by-step practical instructions, recipes are given for breakfasts, light and main meals, vegetables and sauces, desserts, snacks, and party foods. They are set out one to a page in an easy-to-read format and can be readily adapted to suit the rest of the family. Each recipe is marked with clear symbols showing the age groups it is suitable for, and whether or not it can be frozen or cooked in a microwave. The book includes nutrition and hygiene information and a section called 'Playtime', which gives recipes for useful and fun things to make, such as noodle necklaces and finger paint.

Given today's consciousness about safety, design and construction standards, consumer protection regulations and the level of customer awareness, we tend to assume that because a product is designed to be used by babies, It's safe. However, it's unfortunate that products intended for babies and small children are often poorly designed or carelessly constructed, or both. They're not necessarily cheap, either. Quite simply, we suspect it's because babies can't complain; and what new parent has the time to resolve the issue? Whatever the reasons, consumers frequently get a bad deal when it comes to baby products. When shopping for a baby how do you know which products are safe? Do you rely on the advice of a salesperson, friend or family? Do you buy the most expensive item hoping it's the best? Or do you get the truly independent advice of Choice?

The Choice Wine Buying Guide 2004 is the result of the widest wine test ever conducted by Choice. Now in its third year, the guide has established itself as a totally independent and reliable guide to over 400 of the most popular and best value wines available in Australia. Seasoned wineophiles and novices alike will appreciate The Choice Wine Buying Guide 2004. It includes a score out of 20 and taster's notes for each wine. From a panel of 16, each wine was tasted by at least four experts in the Australian wine industry--winemakers, retailers, educators and consultants--bringing a true range of experience and expectation to the process. You'll be amazed at the results. There are some great medal quality wines on the market for under $15. And as for the long-held belief that you should drink red wine with red meat, and white wine with white meat--read this book and you'll see that it pays to think outside the square when it comes to matching wine with food. The special recommendations section features a vintner's dozen wines considered great value and great quality. No boutique or difficult-to-find wines were tested for this book, so most of them will be found at the local bottle shop.
