[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 173014, member: 1991"] I actually ordered the book, then read a few reviews. I found a recipe someone had published online and tried it out on the kids. easy child 2/difficult child 2 saw through it right away. I sat down and did my calculations - if I made that meal (I think it was zucchini muffins) my kids would eat maybe a teaspoon of zucchini for every tablespoon of chocolate cake. I figured it wasn't going to work for our family. When the book arrived at the bookshop they gave me a choice - did I want it still, or not? I said, not. They were cool with that - it's been walking off shelves here anyway. I've been doing similar things with food anyway, but found I couldn't make a lot of things because my kids were just TOO fussy about textures. I think her book is good, as long as the problem is flavours rather than textures. Also, my kids have been eating a good range of fresh fruit & vegetables anyway, I don't have to disguise them. I have a range of recipes where those veggies are right out there in plain sight, and the kids love them! I certainly think it's worth trying this on really young children who get a 'set' against certain vegetables (probably because they've heard classmates complaining about them). But my kids - no need any more. And it wouldn't work/didn't work. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is the worst, and she won't even eat the same recipe with the same ingredients, cooked by someone else. VERY fussy; but now doing her own cooking in her own apartment. She'll learn. She'll have kids of her own one day. [revenge...] Marg [/QUOTE]
