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

My four-year old won't touch anything green unless it is a skittle or a jelly-bean, so I do what I can to make sure he gets some of his nutrients.

I've found some winners in this book, most definitely, though unfortunately, they haven't been the vegetable rich ones yet. Crispy no-fry fries were received with ovations from both the preschooler and my husband. I love the No Harm Chicken Parm, but the preschooler decided he wasn't hungry after the garlic bread was devoured and the husband said it didn't hold a candle to my standard chicken parm.

We all loved the Cream of Tomato soup made with sweet potatos, carrots and evaporated milk. We also will be keeping the pancakes and breakfast cookies in a frequent rotation.

If nothing else, this show more book is helping me to see the health benefits in the things he will eat. The fact that there are multiple fruit purees makes me laugh. My kid not eat fruit? His standard breakfast is a banana, strawberries, blue berries, apple and whatever else fruit is in season and a bagel.

Maybe I'll need those recipes for my one year old, who currently won't touch fruit unless cinnamon plays a part. show less

This book is just amazing giving me a variety of ideas and tips on how to incorporate nutrition and healthy foods to my kids meal without them being so picky and choosy on what food I serve them. It has been a struggle for me with my kids choosing candies and cookies over their fruits and slices fo vegetables however the strategies presented by Lapine is just superbly effective. I no longer need to push my kids in eating their veggies and our dinner table did have a quite environment while eating now. Thanks to this book very useful and helpful specially for mothers out there.

Very well thought out, and helpful. Takes your standard fare, such as sloppy joes and incorporate some hidden veggies into it in the form of purees. However, I thought it was a bit limited in the purees in terms of veggies. But definitely check this book out if you've got a picky eater in the family.

Clare's been very picky about vegetables lately, so I've resorted to tactics like this. This book is clear and easy to follow, though I think the recipes could be heven a bit ealthier than they are (seems to be a lot of sugar).
