Hi Mrs.Lapine,
I am 11 years old and I absolutely love your books! When I discovered the sneaky chef in my moms cabinet, I looked in the back of the book and realized that there were more of your books! I was so happy and ordered the other 2 cookbooks. I can't wait to order sneaky fitness. I love to make all of your delicious recipes. the only thing we were wondering is if you can subsitute purees in terms of the white puree and white bean puree. Thanks! Please tell emily and samantha hi for me! Thanks for all your doing! Grace
Dear Grace,
Emmy and Sammy say "Hi!" right back to you, and hope you enjoy the fitness activities and recipes in the Sneaky Fitness book! I'm thrilled to have young fans like you--not just because kids are the greatest, but also because if you're starting to get "sneaky" now, you're in for a lifetime of good health.
As for the white purees....watch out! These two purees are quite different in consistency, and how they cook up. You'd be pretty brave to use them interchangeably. But if you dare, let me know what happens!
Enjoy the next books, and keep up the great cooking!
With healthiest regards,
Missy

Hi! I just got your new book and LOVE it...just wondering,
can you do the same Quick Fix for Cakes for white cake as yellow? I
see it is different for chocolate, because of color, but I notice one
uses wheat germ and one uses oat bran. I just wanna get it right for
the next birthday party! THANKS!
Dear Jana,
Dear Jana,
You can certainly apply the same principal and quantities of puree, etc., but be very careful about color matching, flavor and quantities. What I mean is that the flavors in yellow cake hide the flavor of orange puree (carrots and sweet potatoes) better than a white cake will, so I would recommend trying some white puree (cauliflower and zucchini) if you want to branch out. But you've got to be willing to experiment a little–it takes me at least half a dozen tries per recipe to get everything just right. Moisture content affects texture and appearance, spices affect flavor, etc. It's quite fun and addicting to see what you can create that actually works : )
Good Luck!
