Book Reviews of The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals

Book Review: Good sneaky ideas but...
Summary: 4 Stars

the only reason I gave this a four stars is because the author has you make up purees that can be used in several recipies. It is a great book if you want to plan ahead, puree and store. I was looking for more of a daily meal recipie book but these are great recipies to sneak in veggies. I have yet to actually make a recipie because of the steps to creating the puree and then cooking the meal...babies underfoot keep me with the simple sneakiness like adding peas to casserols or pumpking to muffins.

Summary of 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)

It's a book chock-full of strategies that will help any parent incorporate better health for the whole family.
