Review

"An elegant plan.. The recipes blend nutrition into a meal and harmony into mealtime." (Publishers Weekly )

"Seinfeld's recipes were written with determined simplicity." (Cookie magazine )

"Just when you'd abandoned all hope of ever convincing your kids to eat their carrots, here comes Jessica Seinfeld." (Redbook Magazine )

Product Description

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? A mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetising alternatives for parents who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to them.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 macaroni cheese, and cabbage 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.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Disappointing, Déc 21 2007
My children have been born and raised on fresh gargen veggies. Their appetizer and main course is heavily on the veggie side so I was very interested in this book. But I was very disappointed in the end.

As other cooks below have pointed out, Jessica should have taken more time to ensure that the ingredients and amounts all worked out and were pretty much foolproof before endorsing them.(I wonder if she really used some or just added them from other recipe books on the market!) For years my mother did exactly what Jessica has tried..only my mother perfected the process. (We all think SHE should write a book!) I initially bought the book to add to the couple of recipies I did have from my mother, unaware that she had many more tucked away, until....

....I tried several, including the chicken nuggets and spaghetti. Nasty. Mom came to visit and I showed her the book. Without having to try the recipies she pointed out the flaws in many...including the ones that failed for me. We rewrote the recipies with different healthy ingredients, balanced them and they were successful. So, Jessica's book is full of pen marks. I should change the title because it's not her stuff anymore...it's "Deceptively Grandma's"!!!!

I also agree with another poster's comment. This book is strangely VERY similar to one that sold earlier in the year..and like others my friends have that are a few years older. There are many combinations that work with purees...why did Jessica's book have to be so much a clone of the other one? Interestingly enough the failed recipies seem like the only ones that were not taken from another source. Did Jessica scour the net and other sources for foods made from purees and throw them in a book? Very few are original. I could not find the chicken nuggets anywhere else so that one may have been hers. But again..it was an abismal failure.

So in summary, the book contains recipies that one can find in other books..and several that fail miserably. The only saving grace was my mom's changes. Otherwise the book would not have been worth buying.

3.0étoiles sur 5 I wouldn't buy this again..., Oct. 26 2007
Par Chelsea Almeida (Edmonton, AB) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I have no problem with sneaking a little extra veg. into my kids diets, so I ordered this book and was so excited to try out the receipe's. It is a beautiful book and I like the look of it, however the following are the ACTUAL result I received:
1. Beet pancakes- while the pancakes did turn out pink, they did not cook the whole way through, they were completely raw inside,(I have made many a pancake in my time and have never had this problem)
2. Beet chocolate cake - it was OKAY.. too much work for an OKAY cake.
3. Chicken Nugets- ABSOLUTE DISSASTER!! WAY too much flax meal in the bread crumbs, the broccoli could be seen through the bread crumbs, takes aweful, all burned (I kept having to add more oil to get through the batch) and the end result was greasy, bland and gross.
4. Mozzarella sticks, WHAT A MESS! the cauliflower was very over powering and they tasted aweful. I ended up freezing them over night so they would cook without becoming a melted mess.
5.Spagetti and meatballs - The meatballs were actually really good, I will make them again, the sauce was WAY too watery, I don't know if that's how they eat it in Manhattan, but it was like soup.

So 1 out of 5 worked. I'm not sure that the reciepe's were writen properly because they balance of ingrediant's seems off.

It's too bad they weren't better, I still really like Jessica, but unfortunately her reciepe's aren't very good.
I wouldn't recomend this book to others.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Not bad at all, Janv. 8 2009
Par Dobrin - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I think Jessica Seinfeld's book will be very useful for many mothers. When you compare this book to Sneaky Chef you will notice that Sneaky Cheff has more interesting receipes. The receipes in this book are not really very much children oriented. However, I like the Deceptively Delicious idea of making fruit pureees instead of fruit juices as suggested in the other book. But overall, if you really have to trick your children to make them eat nutritious food, I think this book is worth your try. Actually I bought this book for a friend of mine as I do not have any problem serving veggies to my daughter. I think it is very important to properly guide the children from the very beginning and not to make them dependent on sweets, pop drinks, etc. Unlike most of her friends my daughter does not like coke and most of the junk food that I see other children are enjoying so much. All in all I think that Jessica Seinfeld presented a number of good ideas in her book.

A perfect addition to this book is Your Body Maintenance Handbook. Among other nutritional issues the author discusses proper food combination. I follow the author's advice to the letter and with great results so far.
