Sneaky Veggies: How to Get Vegetables Under the Radar & Into Your Family [Paperback]

Chris Fisk (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2006

Everyone knows kids resist eating their veggies—but with these delicious recipes, six-year-olds will clamor for carrots and cauliflower. Teenagers will demand your tasty snacks. Fat-addicted adults will insist on your life-extending dishes. The secret? Dishes that feature popular seasonings, along with presentations that hide unpopular foods. And try a few tricks: “Oh that? It’s a spice called foolinya, from the island of Hummina Hummina. Maybe we can travel there someday—I hear they have a really big water slide.” Start with snacks and desserts, then move to sandwiches and pizza, and soon your family will be eating an entire healthy meal! Drawings show each step of preparation, and color photos show how to make each dish look irresistible.

This review is from: Sneaky Veggies: How to Get Vegetables Under the Radar & Into Your Family (Paperback)

Wow, what a fun, fascinating, fact filled font of easy ways to fill your family with easy to make and, dare I say, "healthy" foods. Chris Fisk has a knack with nouishing snacks and meals, and her breezy writing style leaves the reader confident in their ability to re-create her conconctions. I have already tried and tasted some of these recipies, I keep a ziplock bag of veggie detritus in my freezer which I periodically turn into organic vegetable stock, sooooo many other easy tips and hints which will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I mean it. This book is a must-have, not only for the purpose of getting more veggies into your cooking, but for general healthy, inexpensive and easy ways to relate to food and cooking. Transform your Life. Begin here.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Gobbling Up This Cookbook, September 23, 2006

By 

Margo Burke (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sneaky Veggies: How to Get Vegetables Under the Radar & Into Your Family (Paperback)

Whoever thought it could be fun simply to browse through a cookbook? Well, apparently it can. This cookbook is purportedly designed to allow the adult cooks of the family to slip veggies 'under the radar' into their veggie-resistant family. But I think that if the veggie-resistant eaters take a look at this book they'll be asking "Oh, try this one out! This one looks good!" I'm pretty much a take-or-leave it person when it comes to a lot of vegetables, but as I run through this kooky cookbook I'm folding down page after page for recipes I want to try out. Tasty fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't cook and I loved this book!, September 27, 2006

The recipes are really short and don't require a lot of ingredients! The instructions are simple; even I can follow them :-) Not to mention that I appreciate the sense of humor that is peppered throughout (pun intended). I'm buying copies for my friends, who like me, appreciate simple, yummy recipes.
