Editorial Review:
Parents will do almost anything to get their kids to eat healthier, but unfortunately, they’ve found that begging, pleading, threatening, and bribing don’t work. With their patience wearing thin, parents will “give in” for the sake of family peace, and reach for “kiddie” favorites-often nutritionally inferior choices such as fried fish sticks, mac n’ cheese, Pop-sicles, and cookies. Missy Chase Lapine, former publisher of Eating Well magazine, faced the same challenges with her two young daughters, and she sought a solution. Now in The Sneaky Chef, Lapine presents over 75 recipes that ingeniously disguise the most important superfoods inside kids’ favorite meals. With the addition of a few simple make-ahead purees or clever replacements, (some may surprise you!) parents can pack more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in their kids’ foods. Examples of “Sneaky” recipes include: No Harm Chicken Parm Power Pizza Incognito Burritos Guerilla Grilled Cheese Brainy Brownies Health-by-Chocolate Cookies Quick fixes for Jell-O(R)

Love the nutritional info! The recipes are easy and practical. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I've heard some strong opinions about this book being about deceiving own children and that no matter what good intention a mother has, she should never deceive her own children.

Rating: - WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT THEM
Because kids rarely like vegetables and healthy foods, this book fills an important need. The main useful emphasis of the book is the idea of sneaking pureed vegetables into kid-friendly dishes. In addition to sneaking in the vegetables, the recipes take some of the unhealthy ingredients out. The book offers traditional recipes with purees or healthier replacements that add fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants to meals. The book is easy to read and presents a practical guide for parents.

I don't love the concept of lying to your children and not teaching them to eat like socialized humans.
But I hope Jessica Seinfeld loses her shirt. What a witch.
Rating: - True to its title!
This book offers many great ideas for sneaking nutrition into meals that would have never crossed my mind. Our picky 2 year old is finally getting some green in his diet!
All the purees are quite easy to make. I've even enlisted the help of my 4 year old, and she thinks it's fun (of course, she doesn't know where these purees are ending up!) I just took a couple of hours one evening and prepared all of them by pouring into ice cube trays, freezing, and then popping out into labeled Ziploc baggies. ... Read More
