Über dieses E-Book

The New York Times–bestselling cookbook that shows frustrated parents how to hide healthy ingredients in their kids’ favorite foods!

As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves battling with kids who refuse to eat their vegetables. Her book is filled with kid-approved recipes—stealthily packed with veggies so kids don’t even know!

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 mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, and tips on how to deal with the kid who “must have” the latest sugar bomb cereal.

Along with recipes and tips, Seinfeld addresses the big-picture issues that surround childhood obesity and its long–term (and ruinous) effects on the body. Deceptively Delicious provides an arsenal of information on kids’ nutrition so parents understand why it's important to throw a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must have in order to flourish now and in the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats. This book is practical, easy–to–read, and a godsend for any parent who wants their kids to be healthy for a long time to come.
