I started with fresh purée when my son was 7 months old, simple 1-ingredient ones like steamed apple, steamed carrots etc. We never gave cereals or anything prepackaged because he didn't like their taste! Puffs and melts are more suitable when they're 9-10 months old, not when first starting out! Although you can technically start offering solids from 6mo onwards, please make sure that LO has shown signs of readiness before you start - 1) Can sit unsupported on his/her own 2) Shows keen interest on your food 3) Lost the tongue reflex when drinking milk You don't really need recipes because there's no salt/sugar/seasoning added to their food until at least 1yo (though I'd recommend to go as long as possible without), just use the natural flavours of food :)
