Editorial Reviews: It has become common knowledge that childhood obesity rates are increasing every year. But the rates continue to rise. And between busy work schedules and the inconvenient truth that kids simply refuse to eat vegetables and other healthy foods, how can average parents ensure their kids are getting the proper nutrition and avoiding bad eating habits? A mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetising alternatives for parents who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to them.With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in macaroni cheese, and cabbage in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear-out shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to deal with the kid that 'must have' the latest sugar bomb cereal.

Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Finally healthy food that tastes great Comment: I have tried various recipes for healthy meals, but they usually taste "healthy". This really is the first cookbook where everything I've tried thus far is delicious - true to its name. The purees take some time to prepare, but can also be used for baby food if you have pre-toddlers. I had my doubts when making the blueberry oatmeal bars with spinach as I absolutely hate the smell and taste of cooked spinach...but they turned out great and neither my family or our guests could taste the spinach. Highly recommend this one. Customer Rating: Summary: Love most of the recipes Comment: Deceptively Delicious has helped me a lot in integrating veggies in our diet. I also own a juicer and the pulp ends up in one of our meals. I have to be creative and crafty to get the vegetables in our diet in any shape or form without compromising taste. The chocolate chip cookies recipe is a sure hit (Love it and no pureeing involved!). The pureeing part can be tedious. The other recipes like the scrambled eggs with pureed cauliflower was so so. I may try to tweak it a little bit to avoid the grainy taste. Will recommend to anyone who has the time to do all this work. That's why I only gave it a 4. Customer Rating: Summary: Cook Book Comment: This is a good way of incorporating vegetables into dishes and baked goods. Interesting recipes included. My only concern is that the vegetable has to be cooked first and pureed, then it is cooked again in whatever recipe is being made, whether baked or fried, so one might lose a lot of the nutrients that the vegetable had to begin with when it was first cooked! Customer Rating: Summary: My son might just eat healthy food Comment: Some of the hints and tips in this book are just wonderful. Hiding cauliflower in so many types of dishes is just an amazing idea and it works!!! My son is a really fussy eater, and this book has help immeasurably. Parents all over the world rejoice! I wish that the book included both imperial and metric measurements. Doing the conversions is always a pain in the neck, but then that's true of any American or European cookbook. Customer Rating: Summary: Celebrity connections Comment: There's no way this book would have been published if the author wasn't Mrs. Seinfeld. The recipes aren't that interesting or original, and the layout is cute but kitschy. No wonder I've seen it in Five Below only a year after publication. It has no staying power. More Reviews
