Just A Little Overboard
Being brought up in a vegetarian Adventist family, I am used to having to experiment my own and others healthy recipes. That being said, I think Mrs. Seinfeld goes a little over the top. Isn't there such a thing as being too healthy? I don't care to combine fruit and vegetable purees in the same dish at all...just don't like the idea. Use cage-free, veggie fed eggs in your baking and cooking, and as much wheat germ and unbleached whole grain flours as much as possible without sacrificing taste. This cookbook is looks like fun and has some great ideas so I recommend adding them to your "recipes to try" list. 2008-08-28
Fun and delicious
Interesting approach for kids and adults. The recipes are delicious. The book is well made with a '50's format that is also fun and interesting, but well documented.
Delivery time was exceptionally quick for the cheapest fare, about 5 business days. Nice value.
I am sending a copy of the book to all the young mothers that I know. They have all loved it so far.

Delicious Recipes
I was a bit skeptical about this cook book until I actually bought it, and made some of the recipes. I have made over half the things in this book, and they have all been wonderful. My kids have not complained about one of them. They really liked the Spaghetti pie. It is a Must Have for those with pick eating kids. 2008-08-25
Yuck!
I purchased this book with the hopes of finding ways to incorporate different veggies into my kids' meals. Well, I agree with all of the other posters who said IT IS NOT SUBTLE! Yikes - the cauliflower in the Mac & Cheese is so overpowering! All of the purees completely overwhelmed the meals - the beets, the butternut squash, spinach, etc. It was a total waste of money - my daughter refused to eat these meals. I started just putting the veggies themselves on my kids plates/trays, and IMAGINE THIS! They just ate it! I don't try to sneak things into my husbands' meals, why try to do it to my children? Plus, why are we trying to sneak these veggies? We have to teach our children healthy habits, and this is not the way to do it! 2008-08-24
EASY, EASY, EASY
I found these recipes to be very easy and affordable to do. They were very simple and easy that even a non-cooking parent could learn. Mrs. Seinfeld did a very good and thorough job of going over the steps for preparing the freezer for easy recipes.
As any mom/dad knows, not every recipe is going to be a home run. But if I can get at least 10 easy recipes that my kid likes, I will use the book. Using this cookbook with an open mind to exploring new recipes should be the primary. It also engages the mind to think beyond these recipes to everyday meals that could use a few "veggie" secrets.
A household favorite "pink pancakes".
