Deceptively Delicious Cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld......

Anyone seen this and tried it? I saw it on Oprah a couple of months ago and put in on hold through the library, I finally picked it up today. She slips veggie and fruit purees into every food imaginable for her family......AMAZING!

i know there was another thread on it a while back and a few people had tried the recipes and loved them. I have read so many mixed reports on the web about it I was never game to buy it - hadn't thought of trying the library doh!!!! LOL

I think you can get it for $21 from Kmart. I live and breathe the Deceptively Delicious philosophy now. Love it to bits. I sub in pretty much any puree into the recipes now, and add extra in too. For example, the choc chip cookies have a tin of chick peas in them but I add in a cup of various vegie purees too - usually 1/2 cup carrot and 1/2 cup sweet potato (as they are usually the ones stocked in my freezer the most).

My older kids love the idea and ask what vegies are in each thing they eat. My 2 year old who won't touch a real life vegie eats them unknowingly in her 'treats'. I can't rave enough about the whole concept.

I'll chuck this negative thought out there & hope I don't get stomped on LOL.
But I'm actually a little against it, I can understand many kids will not eat certain things & this is a great way to get them to get the nutrients etc a vegi etc can offer. But I dont like the idea of hiding something I want my son to eat & know what it is IYKWIM. I also dont want to encourage the eating of brownies & such...boring mum I am. But that's just me, in moderation not a bad idea I suppose.
