Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food

I have tried various recipes for healthy meals, but they usually taste "healthy". This really is the first cookbook where everything I've tried thus far is delicious - true to its name. The purees take some time to prepare, but can also be used for baby food if you have pre-toddlers. I had my doubts when making the blueberry oatmeal bars with spinach as I absolutely hate the smell and taste of cooked spinach...but they turned out great and neither my family or our guests could taste the spinach. Highly recommend this one.

Deceptively Delicious has helped me a lot in integrating veggies in our diet. I also own a juicer and the pulp ends up in one of our meals. I have to be creative and crafty to get the vegetables in our diet in any shape or form without compromising taste. The chocolate chip cookies recipe is a sure hit (Love it and no pureeing involved!). The pureeing part can be tedious. The other recipes like the scrambled eggs with pureed cauliflower was so so. I may try to tweak it a little bit to avoid the grainy taste. Will recommend to anyone who has the time to do all this work. That's why I only gave it a 4.

This is a good way of incorporating vegetables into dishes and baked goods. Interesting recipes included. My only concern is that the vegetable has to be cooked first and pureed, then it is cooked again in whatever recipe is being made, whether baked or fried, so one might lose a lot of the nutrients that the vegetable had to begin with when it was first cooked!

Some of the hints and tips in this book are just wonderful. Hiding cauliflower in so many types of dishes is just an amazing idea and it works!!!

My son is a really fussy eater, and this book has help immeasurably. Parents all over the world rejoice!

I wish that the book included both imperial and metric measurements. Doing the conversions is always a pain in the neck, but then that's true of any American or European cookbook.

There's no way this book would have been published if the author wasn't Mrs. Seinfeld. The recipes aren't that interesting or original, and the layout is cute but kitschy. No wonder I've seen it in Five Below only a year after publication. It has no staying power.
