I am a mom to one of those toddlers who will not touch vegetables unless completely famished. I was really stressing about this because I didn't want my kid to have to get to the point of starving for every single meal in order to get his veges.
I had watched an interview with Jessica Seinfeld on this cookbook and thought it looked cool, but I didn't buy it because I thought it may be just another celebrity getting an easy book deal. Boy, was I wrong. Seinfeld really took the time and energy to put a creative twist on getting your kids to eat vegetables.
The book is full of recipes that call for vegetable purees that are added to the dish so the child doesn't know it's in there. The purees are steamed vegetable that have been blended into purees and stored up for so many recipe uses. Seinfeld also includes a section in the book describing in detail how to make many different kinds of purees, down to the last detail of how to steam them yourself.
Not only is this cookbook great, it is so cute! It reminds me of a cookbook that I loved to look at when I was little that belonged to my grandmother. The illustrations are straight out of the 50's. Very retro. The book has cartoon illustrations of Seinfeld and her kids, as well as nutrition specialist, Joy Bauer, who verifies her recipes.
The best part, in my opinion, is there are photos of many of the recipes so you can see what they are supposed to look like. I love cookbooks that includes photos of the finished product.
The book can be purchased for $14, however I found it at TJ Maxx for $7.
