Product Description
The follow-up to the New York Times Bestseller!
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 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.

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.

Sneaky Veggies: How to Get Vegetables Under the Radar & Into Your Family
The only thing Sneaky is that the idea is not new. Chris Fisk, a trained chef and bona fide author wrote Sneaky Veggies long before either of the mud-slingers did. Fisk’s book is written from a standpoint of sound nutrition, simple and clear KITCHEN TESTED recipies, and a seemingly heartfelt interest in teaching people to feed themselves well. That’s not what I glean from either of the copy-cats. I wish them both well, but I believe that the superior of the three books is Fisk’s Sneaky Veggies.

I read about this in a magazine and thought it sounded like a cool way to integrate healthy foods into meals and also make normally unhealthy meals (like nachos) more healthy. Instead, the cookbook really disappointed me; more than anything, I’m bothered there were no nutirition facts for the recipes—-what kind of a healthy cookbook leaves out how healthy they made the meal? I would not recommend this book to anyone who is health-conscious or otherwise.
