 Love most of the recipes, 2008-11-18
Deceptively Delicious has helped me a lot in integrating veggies in our diet. I also own a juicer and the pulp ends up in one of our meals. I have to be creative and crafty to get the vegetables in our diet in any shape or form without compromising taste. The chocolate chip cookies recipe is a sure hit (Love it and no pureeing involved!). The pureeing part can be tedious. The other recipes like the scrambled eggs with pureed cauliflower was so so. I may try to tweak it a little bit to avoid the grainy taste. Will recommend to anyone who has the time to do all this work. That's why I only gave it a 4.
Cook Book, 2008-11-16
This is a good way of incorporating vegetables into dishes and baked goods. Interesting recipes included. My only concern is that the vegetable has to be cooked first and pureed, then it is cooked again in whatever recipe is being made, whether baked or fried, so one might lose a lot of the nutrients that the vegetable had to begin with when it was first cooked!
My son might just eat healthy food, 2008-11-08
Some of the hints and tips in this book are just wonderful. Hiding cauliflower in so many types of dishes is just an amazing idea and it works!!!
My son is a really fussy eater, and this book has help immeasurably. Parents all over the world rejoice!
I wish that the book included both imperial and metric measurements. Doing the conversions is always a pain in the neck, but then that's true of any American or European cookbook.

 Celebrity connections, 2008-11-06
There's no way this book would have been published if the author wasn't Mrs. Seinfeld. The recipes aren't that interesting or original, and the layout is cute but kitschy. No wonder I've seen it in Five Below only a year after publication. It has no staying power.
 Ignore the negative hype and give this cookbook a try!!, 2008-10-30
I mainly bought this cookbook for the baking section since I've been adding veggies to most things I cook for years. Baking is so much more precise than regular cooking that I wanted some guidance. Even so I've tried a few of the other recipes and they work really well. I'm fortunate to have a food processor so with a little planning ahead, I can either process enough vegetables for a couple of items or just do them as I need them.
For the recipes I've tried, it's really hard to tell the veggies are in the item. I really liked the brownies as well as several other recipes in the baking section. If one of the recipes doesn't work out the first time, perhaps there was too much liquid in the puree?
A friend of mine made the cake using the cake mix and really liked it. I prefer from scratch so that is one recipe I won't use and I do mostly use organic food and brown rice/noodles. I own shelves of cookbooks and almost all of them has a version of meatloaf so the controversy surrounding this book is most unfortunate IMO. I recommend it for those who want to add more vegetables to their diets, especially if new to the concept.
