BACKGROUNDBACKGROUND Start the Diet Now Advertisement

The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals is a book written by Missy Chase Lapine to help parents with the daunting task of getting their kids to eat healthier foods. The book includes tons of ideas and recipes to get your picky eater consuming more food that’s healthy for them and less that’s not.

Lapine may also be known for the lawsuit she brought against, Jessica Seinfeld, comedian Jerry Seinfeld's wife. Lapine accused Seinfeld of plagiarizing the Sneaky Chef ideas and recipes for Seinfeld's 2008 book, Deceptively Delicious, which bears resemblance to the Sneaky Chef's content and ideas.

The basic premise of sneaking vegetables into your children's and maybe even your spouse’s food is to hide it. The Sneaky Chef's secret weapon is pureeing healthy eats like spinach, green beans, sweet potatoes and more into recipes so that they are undetectable, but add a nutritional (and flavorful) punch. From mac n' cheese to brownies, casseroles and lasagna, The Sneaky Chef takes the fight out of getting kids to eat vegetables because they can’t see or taste them in the food.

The book gives excellent tips on what purees are the most unsuspecting and how you can make large batches of them, store them and use them on an as-needed basis. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack and beverage recipes are all covered.

Being sneaky can help you turn your kids into vegetable lovers without them ever knowing the difference. And you might even find that you like having your vegetables this way a little better as well.
