Sneaky Chef Kids' Cooking Sets

Remember the Easy Bake Oven? I do! Every little girl (myself included) wanted one when I was growing up. That's what inspired me to create my own Sneaky Chef Cooking Academy Kits for the little helpers in my kitchen—but with a healthy twist!

 

Instead of using a pre-made mix, I've added recipe cards so kids can whip up Sneaky Chef-approved dishes with fresh ingredients at home. I even made adorable kid-centric versions of the tools and gadgets I use to fit their smaller hands. The Lotsa Pasta Kit comes complete with a miniature pasta maker—great for making fresh noodles to go in my Saucy Spaghetti!


Then there's the Sweet Treat Eats Baking Kit, which includes everything from an icing dispenser to a playful gelatin server with a slinky base—perfect for my Choc-ful Cupcakes or Jiggly Gelatin recipes. Or team up with your kids to make a batch of my Brainy Brownies (recipe here).

TEENS IN THE KITCHEN COOKING SNEAKY CHEF!

Hi Missy,
My name is Sophia and I'm a 15-year-old who loves baking. My mom just bought me The Sneaky Chef to the Rescue on Christmas Eve and I'm loving it! For your recipes, I used mashed avocado instead of butter/margarine when I wanted to make it healthier for my family. I realized that in baking, everything needs a little bit of fat, but I wanted to use healthy fats instead, so I thought of avocado. Sometimes, when the avocado is too thick, I would add a little bit of applesauce so that it can mix better with the other ingredients.

I also use applesauce to replace at least half of the oil in recipes. I know that some people might not like artificial sweeteners, but if you do then you can use those in place of sugar. I made your Light Brainy Brownies last night. I just tried them and they were the BEST! When I made the Purple Puree I accidentally put a little more spinach than I thought was required, so it didn't really have the purple color that I was looking for, but the brownies still came out chocolaty. My family still love the things that I bake for them, but they don't know about the things I put in them...yet :D

Thank you so much for telling us about the great idea of disguising tasty foods with the things we never expected to be in there! Now I have a better excuse to let my mom eat my favorite treats!

"I have been cooking Sneaky Chef recipes for 3 weeks now and the boys are healthier and happier and guess what??

This way is more fun and not only are my boys healthier but my husband and I are healthier as well.  Thank you so much!!"  –Gina B. Happy Mother of 2 (read Missy's reply on the Blog Page)
Veggie Aversion Solved
"Dear Missy,
I wanted to thank you for your contribution to the health of my family. Both of my boys have a vegetable aversion. With The Sneaky Chef and The Sneaky Chef to the Rescue I am having so much fun sneaking veggies into their food. They've loved every recipe I've made, and I've made many. They don't detect a thing!

I've made Fridays my sneaky ingredient day. For example, today I made a froze lentil puree, white bean puree and orange puree. Now, I'm all set to go for next week!

So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your recipes. I look forward to more in the future!

With best regards,

Michelle P.
