Book Review: Deceptively Delicious – Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food by Jessica Seinfeld

Posted: May 17, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

It doesn't matter if you are a parent or not – you will love "Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Foodir?t=proch08-20&l=as2&o=1&a=006176793X&c" by Jessica Seinfeld.  It's a gorgeous book.  The cliché "don't judge the book by its cover" simply does not apply here.  You can definitely judge this book by its cover.  The cover is gorgeous!  The content is even better.

If the cover is any indication of the content, then the content is definitely worth every penny you will have to dish out for this cookbook.  It also promises fun – lots of it!  You would not have to worry about complex instructions, unobtainable ingredients and difficult procedures.  Despite being quite simple, this is definitely not an ordinary cookbook.

If you are a parent, you have to get this book.  Seinfeld's cookbook will help you get your kids eating healthy food – as the title of the promises.  This will help you trick your kids into eating broccoli and actually love it!  This cookbook offers pages after pages of clever recipes.

Basically, you will be able to create healthy purees made of vegetables like cauliflower, spinach (seriously, spinach!), beetroot, butternut squash – and have your kids exclaiming their enjoyment with every bite.  It's ingenious.  Your kids wouldn't even mind that they are eating beetroot with their chocolate cake.  You will not even feel guilty about allowing your kids to have seconds.

This is the reason why many parents – particularly mothers – love this cookbook.  It's really a huge relief to finally prepare meals and not have their kids exclaiming their distaste.  It's a relief not to resort to coercion just to get their kids eating healthy.  For someone working in the culinary industry, this cookbook is definitely a revelation!

The recipes are definitely sensational.  In her attempt to hide the taste of the vegetables, she was able to create flavourful dishes.  The vegetables actually add depth and richness to the food.  Yes, the taste is subtle, but it's definitely there.  Just take her chocolate cupcake recipe for instance.  Despite the presence of avocado and cauliflower, that recipe is without a doubt one of the best chocolate cupcake recipes out there!  It's the same thing with her chocolate cake.  Despite the presence of beetroot, it is actually incredibly light, moist and delicious.  Her lasagne, burgers and chicken nuggets are simply incredible – it's not surprising why kids tend to forget their eating vegetables.

Parents – particularly mothers – will enjoy the conspiratorial tone of Seinfeld's writing.  Her seemingly animated personality is quite evident in her prose.  She has also made sure that all her recipes are healthy by employing Joy Bauer, a nutritional expert, to check out her recipes and see if they are indeed balanced and healthy.  If you are a bit of a "health freak", you will definitely enjoy the information she provides on things like what nutrients each particular vegetable or fruit offers, how to prepare certain meals in order to prevent loss of nutrients, how to stock your pantry or what foods you can use as substitute.  The recipes are nicely set up and they are divided into several categories.  They include breakfast meals, desserts and main courses.  Needless to say, this book is definitely a winner!

    Removing fish smell can be a bit challenging especially if the fishy odor comes from the cooler or the refrigerator. Fish can be very fickle. It can decompose fast and it smells bad if not cooked immediately. Unfortunately, restaurants do not always have the luxury to get fresh fish. Often, they have to resort to storing frozen catch in the cooler for days. Unfortunately, this creates bad smell in your cooler or freezer.

If you are, then you should know that the job is not easy but it will definitely keep you on your toes – figuratively and literally.

    It is a consideration for a Stewarding Department to use organic cleaning products in the kitchen. After all, the kitchen is where foods are prepared. The kitchen is one of the most frequented areas of a restaurant. This is also the place where chefs, cooks and kitchen staff including kitchen cleaners gather after a day of hard work.
