Deceptively Delicious

As the chef/developer on Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food, it was a true pleasure to create, collaborate, and make discoveries with Jessica who loves to cook nutritious foods for her family without the moans and groans! Parents will cheer and feel good about the “loving deception”. All recipes are meticulously kid-tested and approved by nutrition guru Joy Bauer.

As a mother of three, Jessica can speak for all parents who struggle to provide healthy meals for their kids and fight against unhealthy options that are ever present. I salute her personal stance against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional traps that have led to the recent childhood obesity epidemic.

She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear–out shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to deal with the kid that “must have” the latest sugar bomb cereal.
