![]() ![]() Here is what I did to try some of the recipes out: First, I plugged my Bob Seger CD and got the ball rolling. How are thre recipes? Pretty good, as a matter of fact. Seinfeld on Oprah and thought to myself, Well I have beeing doing the puree thing myself so let's see what she has to say. I do believe in eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state but let's be honest: Who among us eats five servings a day? I saw Ms. And it did! I am a married mom of two boys and I am also interested in better health for my family. I also had a feeling that anything that deals with food and children and not being 100% honest with kids in this "kid-centered" world we live in would push a few buttons. Well let me begin by saying that I am not a professional chef, nor I am an uber-fan of the "Seinfeld" show - so I could care less who the author is. Oh, and for the person who says "you are only getting a tablespoon." in some recipes that may be true - but it's a Tablespoon more than I would have had without it! Enjoy this book - and enjoy eating healthier whether you have children or not. but these were good - and it felt right knowing I was getting a healthy breakfast. 02! I tried the scrambled eggs this morning, they were good! They don't taste like traditional scrambled eggs cooked in butter with all the yolks, etc. They are all fundamentally the same with minor differences. Besides, isn't every cookbook a copy, for all intents and purposes? Look at all the books about: barbecuing, pasta recipes, chicken recipes, baking, cookie recipes. For the reviewers that want to complain about Jessica copying - I was under the impression these were released about the same time - which means they would been under development about the same time. ![]() Jessica has a small intro, but otherwise get's right down to it - nutritional information, the puree's and recipes! I do think the other book has value, but I believe Jessica's has more value. Reasons to write the book, details about her family, how she's qualified to write the book, etc. ![]() The other book takes up a large section of the beginning with. Jessica's also uses more types of vegetables. Another reviewer mentioned this and I agree. There are many full page color photographs of the recipes 3. It is spiral bound - this makes it much easier for keeping open to follow a recipe. While they are both fundamentally the same (adding vegetable purees to food), hands down 'Deceptively Delicious' wins. When I bought this book, I noticed a lot of reviews also mentioned 'The Sneaky Chef', so I decided to buy both and review side by side. I bought this with the intention of my husband and I getting healthier. ![]() We don't have children in our household - but we (like many adults I know) don't get near enough fruit and vegetable servings each day. This morning I made the applesauce muffins, and they were a huge hit with the whole family! I may not make every recipe in this book, but I will use the ideas and purees throughout all my cooking (including the carrot puree I put in my Baked Penne last night! YUM!) Bottom line: If you need the help, buy the book. Don't get me wrong, I also believe that they need to learn good eating habits, so I always have a true vegetable on the plate too. I got busy pureeing right away, and felt like I was finally taking a step towards happiness at mealtime! The true test was when I made my daughter mac and cheese with cauliflower.she LOVED it! I was beaming knowing that she was scarfing down something she liked, and getting good nutrition too. My favorite part is the pages that tell you about how to cook each type of veggie and fruit, and what nutrients are in them. I was hesitant because I am not into making famous people even more rich if I can avoid it, but I loved the fun, girly look of the book, and thought I would give her ideas a try. So after a short prayer and counting to 10, I decided to finally check this book out. Well, why are they looking for other alternatives then? I got this book because I was getting so upset during mealtimes with my 15 month old because she started refusing everything except mac and cheese and fruit. I find it interesting that most of the reviewers that gave this book 1 or 2 stars also went on to say that their kids eat vegetables just fine. ![]()
