My daughter is a nutrition major and heard about Deceptively Delicious from one of her roommates. While out shopping I bought the book for her and gave it to her over the weekend. I was skeptical, but was willing to give it a shot. I have a 17 year old who doesn't like most vegetables. My daughter decided to start with something he likes, Macaroni and Cheese. This recipe uses califlower puree. The recipe was easy to follow and easy to make. We dished it up and my son didn't even notice. We weren't going to tell him that it had califlower in it until he said he was sad that he didn't try something from the cookbook so we told him and he said he couldn't tell there was califlower in there. We also tried banana pancakes...which had banana puree. The cookbook is set up with kids in mind so it is all recipes geared for them. I was surprised and happy to find the recipes really work!!</p>...

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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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......

I think the prep time is a bit tedious, but if you keep all your ingredients handy, it goes pretty quick. All in all its a good book!...

I love it because I myself shy away from vegetables, but not with these  recipes....

Unfortuantely, my picky eater doesn't even eat some of the food she suggests "hiding" the veggies into so they don't work for me but a few of the recipes (such as the yellow cake with pumpkin) were delicious and it got me thinking of my own ways to hide veggies into the foods my daughter does eat....

However, when I read all the prep work that has to go into it, I became a little hesitant but went ahead and pureed all my veggies. I made a few things that my son and husband wouldn't eat. I mean my son NOT eat a brownie???? unfortunately I haven't opened the book since.</p>...

She had some interesting ideas on hiding veggies into other more palatable food. The nutrition information in the front of the book was very informative and worth reading. The recipes are just okay. They are not bad, but they aren't great. Just okay or average....

The recipes are fabulous! I have tried quite a few and you would never know they were so good for you! I have a son who hates vegetables. I have fooled him on several occasions with these recipes! They are good for you and taste great! I love them!...
