review 1: Originally posted on Sarahsbookshelf.com:One of my favorite cookbooks for my family is Jessica Seinfeld’s Deceptively Delicious, which really is the intro to this cookbook. You learn all about using purees in “regular” meals and how to make things less fatty/more healthy.Just as her other cookbook, this one is easy to use, doesn’t use ingredients that normal grocery stores typically carry, and doesn’t really require any special equipment. A few recipes were duds, but we found some new favorites. Highly recommend this book if you have concerns about your kids eating their veggies. These recipes hide all that stuff so you can worry about other things…
review 2: I think I have the same problems with this cookbook as many others have. It's one thing to... more "hide" veggie purees into main entrees for toddlers who are just starting to eat whole foods, but at this point I'm not really interested in hiding healthy and tasty veggies from my preschooler who is almost four years old. So I haven't actually made any of the recipes yet from this book, but I've copied about 6 of them which I'm interest in trying (like Cinnamon-Maple Quinoa and Orzo Risotto with Chicken)Aside from the cutesy drawings of Jessica Seinfeld and her family (which are super annoying and I could care less which recipe is one of Jerry's favorites), I did learn a few good tips from her first book, "Deceptively Delicious" that I continue to use today (adding in some veggie purees into baked goods, for example, or mac & cheese). But for the most part I am not super excited about using purees anymore...mostly because of the time involved in planning ahead to make them, freeze them, etc. I want my child to recognize foods in their whole form, learn how to prepare and cook them with me, and learn to enjoy them, or at least try them at minimum. less
