I'm a health nut mom who was excited to see a book that would provide some sneaky ways to help kids eat vegetables. What I discovered once attempting these recipes was twofold: First this is a lot of work and while there are veggies not all the recipes are healthy since other things are used to mask flavors and not all the portions balance well overall. Second, hiding the veggies defeats the battle. We want our children to want to eat healthy if they are deceived into doing so they do not learn to WANT to eat veggies nor do they learn to like them. They still think they have the upper hand in eating what they want. The Toddler Café by Jennifer Conden and Favorite Family Meals by Annabel Karmel are two much better options for eating healthy and way to make your kids enjoy the process.
