The Original!

If you are going to buy one of these covert vegetable books - get the original. While in a perfect world it is best to feed your kids delicious foods with visible fruits and veggies rather than hiding them in otherwise not-so-healthy dishes, this book is great for creating some fun and still veggie-infused meals. The puree concept is a great idea! The book has fun recipes for creating some weekend meals for your kids. You may also want to be creative and make some kid-friendly-yummy dishes with the veggies out-of-the-closet! If you let kids participate in making dishes (that are also healthy) they are more likely to eat them because they are their own creations. This book is a good starting point for introducing fruits and veggies into your kids' diet. If you tell them what they just ate and enjoyed had broccoli in it, they may be more likely to eat broccoli when it is not hidden. Author of THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams.

Great Book

I really like this book. Not only is it filled with great information about food in general, the recipies look great and I can not wait to start making them for my family.

Picky Toddler Eating Veggies!

My pediatrician said I have to get my daughter to eat more fruits and veggies. the only fruits she eats willingly are bananas and apples, she refuses all veggies except the occasional carrot and potato. So, I bought this book and the Seinfeld book. I tried the Power pizza recipe - she loved it, devoured it! I even added some of the green puree for a little extra nutrional value. Hubby said he could "taste the texture" of the bean puree, but I didn't. Now, I can feel better about my toddler eating pizza.

I agree that I would prefer if she just ate a handful of carrots, or broccoli, etc, but she won't. So, this way, she is eating things she likes (pizza, mac 'n' cheese, etc) and getting some nutrional value out of it. Of course, I still encourage her to eat veggies (I even cut up cucumber and bell pepper with cookie cutters to make them more intriguing - she was excited by the shapes, but not enough to tempt her pallate). So, purees it is, at least until her tastes change and she starts eating veggies.

good idea lots of useless information

the first 3/4 of the book is useless. Looks like they needed to fill in lots of pages just to say they had a complete book. The recipes are good and very creative. However the recipes only take up the last 10 pages of the book. Everything before that is why you should hide things in your kids food. Not what I expected, but the recipes are useful.
