The macaroni and cheese also turned out to be one big glob, not at all creamy the way the picture depicted. It actually did not taste to bad but my kids (for whom all this work was for) would not touch it with a ten foot pole because of its appearance. The puree mixture and bread crumb mixtures did not stick to the chicken and therefore completely fell apart as it was frying. The chicken nuggets looked nothing like the picture and was very gloopy(for lack of a better word). I am very sad to report that I have been very disappointed by all the recipes I have tried. I was very excited about getting the new Jessica Seinfeld book Deceptively Delicious and immediately ran out to the grocery store to buy out the store of their veggies so I could start pureeing. If you are new to startcooking, or are a regular visitor here, please consider subscribing for free. If you are going to eat brownies, SPLURGE and eat the real thing! They were AWFUL! No one ate more than one bite. I made the brownies and served them to some friends. At I have discovered a picture is worth a thousand words! I also like that almost all the recipes have photos to match.

The format, layout, and design of Deceptively Delicious are totally retro and work brilliantly. All of these tips are creatively dispersed throughout the book with quotes from (famous) moms, Jessica’s children and of course Jerry. Everyone who has children should buy this book for that reason alone. The BEST part of this book is all the parenting tips. I would probably recommend buying a few jars of puree baby food just to get a jump start on some of these recipes.

Many fans of my site, would be hard pressed to figure out how to make all these purees from scratch. That is true if you have a well stocked kitchen, with both food and equipment, and know your way around the kitchen. In the very beginning of this book, Jessica says that “no training or kitchen knowledge whatsoever” is necessary to make these recipes. My only reservation about this book is how much advanced planning is needed to make these unique and health-conscious recipes. Forget the kids, I want one of these! (Oops, maybe not-see PS at the bottom of this post!) The brownies made with spinach and carrot puree sound most intriguing! According to Joy Bauer, the resident dietician for this book, the brownies each have 133 calories, and 3 grams of fiber.

Mixing in some puree sweet potato or butternut squash to shredded cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich is more the theme here.

It’s not quite like adding ketchup to your Big Mac and counting that as a vegetable. I must stress though that the recipes in this book are very healthy to begin with. Adding pureed vegetables in small un-noticeable amounts, so as not to change the flavor too much, is indeed a great way to add veggies to a child’s diet. Traditionally, we all have enjoyed carrot cake, pumpkin muffins and zucchini bread. The idea is quite brilliant and not as far-fetched as you might think. The whole premise of this book is to get kids to eat healthily, by “hiding” pureed vegetables and fruits in everyday foods that your kids eat. With all the great celebrity endorsements that it has already received, I have to ask myself, is the new book by Jessica Seinfeld (Jerry’s wife) something one would buy who does not have a private chef, round the clock nannies, six personal assistants, and rides in private jets?
