I read through a lot of reviews before writing mine. I've also used recipes from The Sneaky Chef so I even have a comparison. My kids eat very few veggies and I've had countless nights of my oldest boys crying at the table for an hour or more over cold veggies. My youngest is autistic and won't hardly eat anything. My husband is somewhere in the middle. The recipes do have to be followed exactly. I've tried making changes, like using whole wheat flour or Splenda, and they don't work well. I used beets for the chicken nuggets and fried them in a regular amount of oil and they came out fine. The husband did notice the pink layer but he was the only one. The taste was completely hidden. I did try broccoli but I tried baking them and it didn't come out well. The brownies came out best with unsweetened chocolate. They do have a slightly spongy texture to them but the kids devoured them. Cauliflower is difficult to completely puree, which is a must. The eggs need cooked longer or on a higher temp to cook out all of the water. I've put the cauliflower into boxed mac&cheese without anyone noticing. The kids love their pancakes and french toast make with sweet potatoes and carrots more than they liked the regular kind. Spinach makes its way into everything that I make with hamburger now and is undetectable. The only problem that I see is that she made everything SO healthy. Fat is a flavor carrier, and I have a ton of egg yolks to do something with. So to anyone who buys the book and the flavor tastes "off", try adding more butter/oil and remake the recipe. We're coverts.

The Seinfeld kids are just as veggie haters as my own. That publicity photos from the middle is pretty much how my youngest son acts when I say to eat his vegetables. I'm here to say however that this is a book for the entire family. I hate broccoli. Always have, always will. With some of the recipes Mrs Seinfeld dishes out, I can eat my share again.

OK, so I jumped on the bandwagon after seeing Jessica Seinfeld on Oprah and bought the book. I was intrigued by the idea and started right away. I'll be honest, I have not used one of her recipes...YET, but I've incorporated the idea into our family dinners. I even took her idea of having my husband sit with me and talk while I pureed. Grant it, the process DID take me a little over an hour (an hour and 20 minutes actually) to steam (had the rice cooker AND micro steamer going) and puree 7 or 8 different items but it wasn't such a horrible chore. I actually did a bulk pureeing process similar to this when I made our daughter's baby food.
TIP: To cut down on chopping prep time, use frozen veggies. They go much quicker.
So I've already thrown some purees into a couple of our family favorite recipes and noone has been the wiser. My husband is happy I am making us healthier and I can tell him what is in it, but I'll hold off on the little one. She can continue to think what she sees is what she's eating. ;)
HIGHLY recommend it! Can't wait to try the brownie recipe.

I have been pleasantly surprised with this book. I have a two year-old and a 6 month-old. I already make puree's for baby food so it hasn't been too bad, making a little more. I have to add that my two year-old likes vegetables, BUT my husband hates them! Now, we can all sit down to dinner and eat the same things and enjoy them. We really like the tuna salad, meatloaf, and green eggs recipes.

Rating: - What happens when you puree fruits and vegs
ONE IMPORTANT THING THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IS THAT WHEN YOU PUREE A FRUIT OR VEGETABLE INTO A CONCENTRATED FORM, YOU DRASTICALLY INCREASE ITS SUGAR CONTENT.

SO BOTTOM LINE IS IT'S STILL BETTER TO EAT FRESH STEAMED OR RAW VEGGIES, AND FRESH FRUIT.
