The Sneaky Chef now targets the other picky eater in the family! For parents of finicky eaters, The Sneaky Chef was the answer to their prayers, giving them solutions for hiding healthy food in the meals kids crave. Within a month of publication, it was a New York Times bestseller. But author Missy Chase Lapine knew another secret: the kids aren’t the only ones in the family not eating their veggies! Hundreds of women wrote to tell her how the men in their lives were consistently making poor choices when it came to their diet. Men know they should eat better, but the classic male perception is that fruits and veggies are “rabbit food” and don’t seem to satisfy their appetite. Now “The Sneaky Chef” has donned her apron again and developed delicious recipes that are sure to appeal to guys. Recipes include “Macho Meatballs,” “Love Me Tenderloin,” and “Champion Chili.” These hearty meals successfully cloak ingredients that specifically target men’s health issues: foods proven to help the heart, lower cholesterol, ensure a healthy prostate, and other concerns. Now everyone in the family (kids and adults alike) can benefit from The Sneaky Chef’s bag of tricks.
What Others Say
A miracle!
My man has never been the problem in the veggie-eating department; it's *me* who's the problem. I have such a powerful aversion to veggies that I just *can't* eat them. Even when they taste exactly like the dish that they're in, my illogical aversion makes it impossible for me to choke them down. But tonight, I ate chili that had cauliflower, zucchini, broccoli, spinach, and peas in it--and it looked and tasted just like any "normal" chili I'd ever eaten. Not only did I eat it, I *enjoyed* it, which is just as important. There's only so long one can keep eating things one doesn't enjoy, but if they taste good . . .

Good idea but too much work
I thought this would be a great book for my son but it's just too much work. You have to premake some ingridents (and freeze them for future use) and then make the receipe. It's just too much work! I need something easier!
How to Add Baby Food into Your Meals
I think that should be the titles for The Sneaky Chef: How to Cheat on Your Man (In the Kitchen!): Hiding Healthy Foods in Hearty Meals Any Guy Will Love, but then who would buy it?
I love making fresh baby food for my kids when they were young. I stopped because there wasn't a need anymore. I'm glad The Sneaky Chef: How to Cheat on Your Man (In the Kitchen!): Hiding Healthy Foods in Hearty Meals Any Guy Will Love came out and I've discovered making baby food blends is just as fulfilling.
The book is about adding nutritious foods into your family's diet without their knowledge and it's not about revamping their diets. DH is borderline diabetic and I've tried to get him to eat more beans, cinnamon, fibers, you name it, but he has refused or claims, he can not eat those food (or too much of them).
Last night, I made the 'Radical Ribs' with the 'Basic marinade for Fish, Chicken, & Pork', 'Sweet & Sour Sauce', ... Read More
A sick title, a sick view of relationships
What a poor, poor reflection on our society when anyone would author a book titled, "How to Cheat." Terrible. Is this dishonesty really meant to be out of love? Why anyone, male or female, would want to cheat at anything in their relationship is beyond me. What a shame. Why not try honesty instead? As a marriage counselor I would have much less work if more people did just that.
A shame, on so many levels.
A winning strategy in the kitchen for more than just men
First off, truth be told, I'm not a man at all. I just happen to be a very picky adult woman who can't stomach eating whole vegetables. Health issues spurred me to make some changes in my diet, namely to include more vegetables and fiber. This was a tall order for me, but I'd been hearing rave reviews for books like these and Jessica Seinfeld's "Deceptively Delicious" which make a point of including disguised vegetables pureed seamlessly into the foods I happen to love--which also tend, very often, to be incredibly bad for you. This was a strategy I could live with. If it worked, so much the better; if it didn't, at worst it would be a failed experiment in cooking (to add to my always-growing pile of such experiments).
