Double Delicious: Good, Simple Food for Busy, Complicated Lives

by Jessica Seinfeld, Steve Vance (Illustrator)

Overview

The follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller Deceptively Delicious goes beyond purees and kids' foods to make family mealtime more delicious, more wholesome, and simpler than ever.

In her bestselling book Deceptively Delicious, Jessica Seinfeld inspired millions of parents to improve their kids' eating habits by giving everyday classics a nutritional boost with hidden vegetable purees. Now in Double Delicious!, she's turned her attention to the whole family. Here are more of her easy, imaginative recipes that use the power of purees to make everything healthier, from a hearty Turkey Meatloaf to an irresistible Tiramisu. Again, she's raised the bar nutritionally and eliminated unnecessary sugar and fat, boosted fiber and nutrients, and cut way back on sodium to bring us more healthful food with fantastic flavor. (She's even developed a Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie that nutritionist Joy Bauer loves!)

Editorial Reviews

Jessica Seinfeld is one busy lady. She has three children, is married to a very famous comedian, and works hard as a prominent philanthropist and activist. She is also a cookbook author. Double Delicious! is the logically titled successor to her swift-selling Deceptively Delicious. Like her debut recipe book, this new release advocates simplicity. Seinfeld's fast and easy recipes feature healthy, kid-friendly ingredients, including alternatives to processed sugar and flour. The book also contains important nutritional information for the whole family and useful suggestions for supermarket shopping. Fruits, veggies, and good advice.

In this follow-up to Deceptively Delicious, Seinfeld (comedian Jerry Seinfeld's wife) explains food labels and lists fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, oils, breads, grains, and snacks to buy. As in her first cookbook, these recipes sneak pureed vegetables into dishes; the appendix includes instructions for pureeing. Sweet and Sour Meatballs calls for broccoli puree, Macaroni and Cheese uses either carrot or sweet potato puree, and Chocolate Bread Pudding includes carrot puree. Seinfeld also offers healthy eating tips such as freezing juice in ice cube trays to add flavor to water. Expect demand. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 6/15/10.]
