 Ignore the negative hype and give this cookbook a try!! October 30, 2008
B. Smawley (USA)
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. br / br /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? br / br /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.
I LOVE this Cookbook!! October 26, 2008

I received this cookbook as a gift from my mother, and it has been a total lifesaver for me. I have a very picky husband (a total meat potatoes- no veggies guy) and a picky toddler to feed. I have been using this cookbook for a month solid- everyday. The comments from my family is that dinner has never been better. Making the purees takes a bit of time once a week, but makes dinner preparation so much faster. I am becoming more brave and adding purees to other recipes. My family, who would not even TOUCH broccoli before have been eating it in puree form in chicken nuggets, chicken soup, beef stew, and so many other things. I reccomend this cookbook for anyone who has picky eaters at home. I actually hide it and they don't know I'm using it- they are none the wiser and what they don't know won't hurt them!! Once you become familiar with it, you can broaden your other recipes as well. I just can't say enough good things about it.
 So far it's been a hit October 14, 2008

The veggie and fruit purees are much easier to make then i thought. I was nervous about all the work, but things are explained well on how to make them. br /Also i like that you can switch out whatever purees you want to use in most of her recipes. br /So far what we've made has been good. The muffins have been the biggest hit. And I add flax seed meal to mine. br /I would not however use these recipes as the only source of fruits and veggies for my family. I just liked the idea of adding more healthy stuff to foods we already eat. br /
Eating veggies shouldn't be a fight October 13, 2008

Love this book! My girls (6, 5 3) are not naturally drawn to eating veggies, but they love helping me bake these foods. I don't like that she tries to fake out her kids with the macaroni box on the counter. I have been very up front with my kids about putting yummy healthy food in and they are being VERY honest about what recipes work for our house. There are some recipes that taste too far off the yummy recipes that I already have, but my girls actually asked for the cakes in this cookbook for their birthday parties (1 with pumpkin and 1 with avocado)! I call that success. I have taken her recipes one step further and made most of the other ingredients organic but she's still on the right track with putting veggies on their plates and veggies in their tummies. The puree process is a little long but so worth it if you can do it all at once and freeze it for the week. The pictures were enticing. I just wish there were more recipes!
