#Good Choice (2008-07-21) I ve heard some strong opinions about this book being about deceiving own children and that no matter what good intention a mother has, she should never deceive her own children. Although this could be a good ground for a longer discussion about ethics, here are some points that, in my opinion, make `Sneaky Chef a good buy: 1. Children only eat what they find attractive to their eyes and their taste buds. Any reasoning about food nutritional value is blocked and absolutely ignored.

#Good idea, not practical (2008-04-14) This cookbook is designed more for children. I bought it as I thought that my husband and I could get some extra vegtables in our diet. Most of the recipes are for children. I have not made any recipes out of this book yet. Keep in mind, this cook book requires a lot of prep work.

He never sad been and although he does eat and love veggies I ve found that he kinda loses interest quickly if there is a lot of different things on his plate.

Yesterday he ate the quick fix macaroni for the first time and asked (and finished!) a whole second bowl. He s loved everything we ve given him more than the regular food I still sometim...

#She will show you HOW (2007-10-28) I read a number of books about nutrition so I know WHAT is a nutritious meal, but until now I not always new HOW to cook it so as havlff it is not left on the dishes by my husband and especially my kids. Sneaky Chef helped me a lot in that department. Good job Missy Chase! The book is not expensive so I suggest to get it and try it out, it is really helpful. And if you need more info on proper food combination, add to it Can We Live 150 Years
