Full Belly is many things at once; it's a luscious cookbook; it's a clear guide through the unnecessarily foggy territory of the prenatal diet; and perhaps most profoundly, it's a kind of Bill of Rights for a new generation — one now in diapers —of future real-foodists." —Nina Planck, author of Real Food for Mother and Baby and The Real Food Cookbook "There are many books you can buy to help guide you through pregnancy, but Full Belly is the only reference you'll need. It provides the essentials about what to eat for a healthy pregnancy, and the recipes are ones you'll want to make long after the baby is born. Tara Mataraza Desmond's supportive, reassuring tone makes it feel as though you have a smart but understanding friend by your side for nine months. ." —Tina Ruggiero, MS, RD, LD, best-selling author of The Best Homemade Baby Food on the Planet and The Truly Healthy Family Cookbook As a mom of three (including twins!), Tara Mataraza Desmond knows full well the nutrition questions swirling in a pregnant woman's mind. With recipes, expert-fueled advice, and clever Belly-to-Belly conversations, Full Belly provides all the answers to satisfy women's hunger for information and gnawing concerns." —Sarah Bowen Shea, mom of three and co-author of Run Like a Mother and Train Like a Mother, " Full Belly is an oasis from the stress-inducing calorie counting and overwhelming 'no' lists of so many prenatal eating books.
