The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals
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)

The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals Reviews
I have two similar cookbooks that compliment each other. I also don't have a problem with my kids eating fruits and so the fruit purees weren't necessary. The only drawback is that there is a commitment to preparing all the purees each week or making sure you use them in a timely fashion if you choose to freeze some. This book gives moms a kick start on learning healthy recipes and it's also a refreshing new look at helping our kids see ways they can eat foods that are yummy and healthy.
I don't eat veggies but I have been eating a lot lately since she started cooking from this book. They are wonderful. I personally don't own this book but a coworker does and she brings things to work all the time that she has made from these recipes.
well I saw the book on Oprah and thought it would be great to have some recipes to put my puree in. Just experiment a little for yourself there isn't genious behind any of the recipes. I wouldn't waiste money on buying the book. The recipes aren't that creative and after reading through it, it was all pretty common sense.
The recipes in this book were fine, except that my copy was missing 8 pages in the dinner section so it is missing 5 dinner recipes. Other than the purees the recipes are very simple and in my opinion kind of bland, but the breakfast options are great. its been almost a year and still I am missing the main reasons I bought the book for healthy dinner ideas. I would have given the book 3 stars if it were whole and complete. I contacted the author and the publisher and no one responded to me at all.
