It has become common knowledge that childhood obesity rates are increasing every year. But the rates continue to rise. And between busy work schedules and the inconvenient truth that kids simply refuse to eat vegetables and other healthy foods, how can average parents ensure their kids are getting the proper nutrition and avoiding bad eating habits?
As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to them. Her modus operandi? Her book is filled with traditional recipes that kids love, except they're stealthily packed with veggies hidden in them so kids don't even know! With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear–out shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to deal with the kid that "must have" the latest sugar bomb cereal.
But this book also contains much more than recipes and tips. By solving problems on a practical level for parents, Seinfeld addresses the big picture issues that surround childhood obesity and its long–term (and ruinous) effects on the body. With the help of a prominent nutritionist, her book provides parents with an arsenal of information related to kids' nutrition so parents understand why it's important to throw in a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must have (as opposed to adults) in order to flourish now and in the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats.
Jessica Seinfeld's book is practical, easy–to–read, and a godsend for any parent that wants their kids to be healthy for a long time to come.

Summary: Good but time consuming
Comment: Most of the recipes I've used from this book I would make again. My biggest complaint - the prep time for all those purees. Plan to set aside an afternoon to cook & puree all those vegetables, and make sure to have plenty of freezer space. With that said, the recipes are good and I've tried several of the foods out on my two year old as well as adult friends and relatives. My daughter has no clue there are veggies mixed in and most of the adults say that it tastes a little different but usually can't pick out what particular vegetable puree was used.

Comment: Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food
If you have picky eaters this book is awesome to get kids to eat their fruits and veggies. The recipes are very healthy and can be adapted for food allergies rather nicely. I have to use soy,rice and spelt flours for my allergies.

Summary: A bad copy of The Sneaky Chef
Comment: This is a total rip off of the book The Sneaky Chef which I have a love. I got this book as a gift and was happy to try out some new foods for my two kids. They will only eat what I make out of Sneaky Chef.
Rule to follow - if you are going to copy a book at least do a good job.
