It had been a few years ago when I saw Deceptively Delicious featured on a talk show. The author was there with all these desserts and foods that looked delicious and they had a groups of kids tasting the food. I was intrigued she was getting them to eat zucchinis’ and other vegetables and they were asking for more. When my kids started refusing to eat any vegetables I quickly went to find the book at my local library for help. I have to note I did have to hide the book as my 2 oldest can read and if they new their were veggies in them they would not have eaten the food, no matter how yummy it looked. Of all the recipes, my son favors the desserts. To be honest, I don’t mind allowing him to have it because they are packed with veggies compared to what he eats at school. Although all the recipes don’t work for my family, my kids had a traumatic experience with an Ethiopian dish that looks like spaghetti sauce and since then they refuse to eat any red sauces, it took my oldest 4 years to eat pizza again and 2 years to eat any red fruits. But all in all it is loaded with wonderful recipes, that I am able to feed to my kids that are healthy and nutritious. I highly recommend it for parents of picky eaters, they might not be completely transformed, mine weren’t but they will eat a lot more then they did before.
