Better than the other reviews, I think

After reading the other reviews I was hestitant on buying it but I thought this would be a great way for my son to eat veggies with food he already loves! We have made 3 recipes so far and have had no problems with them at all!! I recommend for the scrambled eggs with califlower to use the whole egg not just whites for the recipe. And be aware of being a little gassy afterwards! :O) I even modified a recipe for banana bread for zucchini bread and it turned out great! We love the mac and cheese with yellow squash. She tells you in the book how to prepare all the veggies for steaming and all nutrition values! I love it!! I'm trying the spinach and carrot brownies today and taking them to work for all to try out!! You must read all recommendations from her on how to prepare and eat the meal sometimes she says to eat cold or you can really taste veggie! I don't know what other moms had a problem with sometimes no matter what a kid won't eat all his veggies this way he can eat with out all the fussing!

One of the best...

I absolutely love this cookbook. I don't have any kids, so I'm not really the core demographic, but it's great for anyone who is just trying to incorporate healthy options in their diet. I've made most of the desserts in the book and they're all great and make me feel a little less guilty.

Excellent Idea, and not bad recipes

I have had this book for several months now, and I like it very much. I stumbled upon it and saw some very negative (and somewhat nasty) reviews. I certainly do not think that it is deserving of that. First and for-most Jessica Seinfeld says in the beginning of the book that she is no chef, and these are recipes she has tried on her own kids, and they like them. Whoever purchased this book thinking it was going to be full of world class meals designed by a world class chef is not very intelligent. Look at the author(not Julia Child here people)! This is a book to help you to get your children to eat more veggies. My son is 16 months old, and up until he was a year old he ate every veggie I put in front of him, then changed his tastes and eats everything but the veggies most of the time. So, I decided to include the veggies in the food he does eat, using this cookbook. (the mac and cheese is a huge hit! I love it, but do have to add a little extra seasonings in the adult portions-no biggie) However, I do still include veggies on his plate. In my mind he is offered the veggies and if he eats them-great, if not, I can feel good knowing that he ate some without knowing it. Do I feel bad about that? NO WAY! I dont want to make a big deal out of him not eating the veggies on his plate because I dont think its a good idea to force them on him. (my parents tried that, and I still hate veggies) I use the purees in almost all of my dinners (even the ones not from this cookbook) I have learned ways to incorporate them into everything. The bottom line here is that it is not deserving of some of the horrible reviews I have read. The book is what it says it is....take it or leave it! I'll take it!

you have to have time

Was so glad to see the idea's and to recognize there are other ways than begging and pleading to get real veggies in to my children's diets. Just didn't think outside the box at all. Spent the night getting things cooked up for that little bit of deception, so cannot wait to see how it goes over.
