Editorial Reviews
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)

Great Concept but needs more variety

I really like the concept of hiding the vegetables when we can't get the little ones to eat them. However, I was hoping for some extra toddler recipes besides the chicken nuggets, pasta, and macaroni and cheese route. I have been using the recipes for those dishes and it works great. But it makes me wish there was a wider variety of recipes that I can make and try to see if I can add to the menu of "will eat".

The Book is a great book for all those parents who want to see nutrition incorporated in family meals. But so far the first recipe tried was not accepted by my children they did not like the taste. We will forge on to try other recipes hopefully having success.

The recipes in this book are quick and easy. The grandkids loved the french toast, chocolate chip pancakes and mac and cheese. They had no idea that these things actually contained ingredients that were healthy!

Problem Eater??? This helps; but... must buy buy buy

This is a great book for picky kids. My daughter would only eat bland colored foods and NO VEGGIES!! This book is great for hiding like colored veggies and/or picky eater foods, but you have to buy other ingredients not normally purchased (at least for us). Other than that, it works!! Be sure if your child has texture issues and is very sensitive, to watch what veggies and/or picky eater foods you choose to "hide" in your dish.

My toddler daughter is finicky. She loves eggs, cereals, ground beef, milk, pasta, cheese, applesauce, she has a sweet tooth and is in good shape. However if you come near her with a piece of produce she will scream. If she finds corn and peas mixed in a meal she will spit them out like bullets.

This book solves the problems. The purees for "mix ins" and recipes from scratch are great. I made mini Peanut Butter and Jelly muffins which contain sweet potatoes and carrots. She kept coming back for more. I made Health By Chocolate Chip Cookies with spinach and blueberries. My daughter kept asking for more "cake". I even tried the Magic Meatballs with spinach and broccoli and made them nice and crusty (the best way) in olive oil on the stove. She wasn't particularly hungry but the adults in our house have enjoyed all 3 courses without any hint of veggies.

Prep the purees and flour in advance, keep it in the fridge and meals are tasty, quick and easy!
