Product Description
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.

 Even better than the first one! March 15, 2008

I am a big fan of Missy's first book - we make the Cocoa Choc Chip pancakes (featuring spinach and blueberries) every week. I didn't think she could possibly surpass the original - she has. There are so many amazing recipes in this book that I can't wait to try! She has come up with a version of every "manly" favorite out there! Boosted Buffalo Wings - Top Banana Waffles - Slaw & Potato Salads - Onion Rings - Grilled Chicken Satay w/Peanut sauce - Chili - Burgers - Halftime Snacks - even Molten Choc. Cake! I'm off to make a grocery list so I can start cooking some new sneaky favorites!
A sequel which may surpass the first book March 23, 2008

On the evening that the new book arrived, my picky five year old daughter was disappointed when I didn't make something for dinner using the new cookbook. She loved the recipes in the first book and couldn't wait to try some of the new ones. So far we've tried both waffle recipes, stuffed french toast, manicotti, marinated beef, the bacon and cheese mashed potatoes, and the chocolate volcano cake. They are all easy and taste great.
Exceptionally planned, researched well, and with greater breadth, this book is definitely as good (if not better) than the first book. My husband even gave the nod for the french toast and manicotti which contains tofu (which he normally detests). Although aimed at the man of the household, my kids have already tagged some meals for me to try. Lots of new suggestions, including a lengthy section on snacks. I can't wait to try more!

Missy Chase Lapine has painted herself into a corner.
Frankly, the premise of her first book was a little odd -- while it does the job of getting nutrition into junk food, what happens when it's time to wean the finicky eater off the sneaky stuff? As the introduction to this book makes clear, this may often not be possible. Honestly, I know people who eat like this -- I have an uncle who sat there and ate hot dogs at his son's wedding -- but there's something off-kilter if not outright wrong about this book.
For one thing, this book is based heavily in the sexual politics of the 50s, with a woman taking care of her man, getting her way through subterfuge rather than partnership. Second, as a guy who cooks (obviously, if you've read my other reviews), to me the idea that cooking is woman's work is a relic of the distant past. There is something very wrong with the whole concept behind this book -- if you agree with Lapine's general idea of sneaking in healthy foods behind someone else's back, her original book is substantially less disturbing and should provide everything you need.
As for the food? It's stereotypical guy food -- pub grub, barbecue, and the like. Nothing to get excited about. Give this one a pass.

I was so thrilled to receive this book only to find that almost every recipe requires at least one or two more recipes to complete. It seems that "hiding" foods maybe a full time occupation! More exasperating...there are NO calorie counts or nutritional values attributed to the recipes. So, what is the gain from sneaking in all these hidden foods? Perhaps I missed the point, but SPECIFIC nutritional value of each recipe would have made this book alot more palatable.
Keep Those Recipes Coming! April 2, 2008

OK-I'm not a big fan of most veggies....and the types of food I like best; burgers, wings and doughnuts aren't considered particularly healthy but taste great!
So I was surprised to learn that my wife had been preparing some of my favorite meals with a slight twist with recipes from LaPine's new book. These recipes use less salt, sugar and contain less fat not to mention the added nutrition of fresh fruit and vegetables so it's great for me and the kids too. If anything, the food actually tastes better. Thanks and keep the recipes coming!
