I felt silly buying this long ago, and still feel silly owning it. It's basically a “cookbook” where every recipe for the first half is:
1. dice [vegetable/fruit]
2. steam for 10 minutes
3. puree
4. freeze
5. periodically thaw and feed to your baby
It graduates to a couple VERY simple, healthy toddler meals - smoothies, chia pancake stuff, things like that. Things that are very easy to cook indeed.
All that said - I needed/wanted (and still need/want!) someone to hold my hand sometimes when I'm like, “argh what do I cook again?!” So it's a bit indulgent. It's like paying whatever this book's price was for common sense. But, legitimately, I did learn about a lot of random vegetables I had never had (e.g. parsnips). I learned you can steam EVERYTHING. I learned a 6 month old can eat their weight in peach puree (wow).
And yes, the first solid is GUAC. HA.
