You won't see that happen. Just look at who is appearing on her show tomorrow to plug his new movie. Jerry Seinfeld and the cast of the Bee Movie. I have to wonder if Jerry Seinfeld didn't agree to be on O's show as long as his wife also got a segment on a show to plug her book. The shows were probably taped on the same day Besides, woman have been pureeing and hiding vegies in their meals for years. My mom did it when I was a kidy...I still do it today with my husband even though my son is grown. You'd also have a hard time proving she just tweaked the recipes from The Sneaky Chef. Recipes are hard to prove that someone has stolen. For instance, I thought Art Smith's recipe for the pitaschio chicken was a lot like a South Beach diet recipe for pitaschio crusted turkey cutlets.

I'm gonna Google a bit and see if what you have said is true. If this is the case, it IS an outrage that viewers are lead to believe something and purchase this book giving millions of dollars to someone we 'thought' created something for all our families.

I've boughten the book and will take it back to Target depending on the outcome of my Googling.

Moms have been sneaking vegetables into their kids food for ages - this is nothing new. Few ideas ever are, actually. DD is a useful book with good information and ideas. If you don't see value in it, don't buy it. It you prefer TSC, buy that one. There is room in my kitchen for both. Neither of these women invented the wheel - they just worked out some clever ways to make it roll more smoothly. If they can each provide me with a couple of ideas for getting more nutrition into my children, they've BOTH earned the $15 or so the books cost online!

Thank you for your common sense approch to this situation. I concur.

Furthermore: I'm 65 years old and LOVE this concept! I've hated most vegies my whole life, and this way of getting them into my body is fantastic! I've already tried some of them and give this idea a 10+. Thank you Jessica for bringing it out to the fore.

Some of those posts who ignore the fact that the Seinfeld book was stolen from a real chef, and praise the stolen book like crazy, sound like false posts --- made by an army of well-paid publicists. I can picture a group of publicists in their cubicles posting the fake praise. They must be salivating at the Seinfeld billions!! Therefore, morals go out the window.

If you worked at a publication or tv show you would be shocked to see the lies that come from these pr people!
I picture them as the same folks who tricked Oprah!

I'm NOT ignoring.. I looked up the Sneaky Chef and will get her book too! And that's the point! I can't imagine a world where only one person was allowed to write about a subject! Unfortunately for The Sneaky Chef, her book wasn't publicized the way Jessica's was. I really like Jessica's book, and really like the recipes I've seen of the Sneaky Chef. A good thing for the Sneaky Chef though, is that you are all helping to publicize it! I for one was never aware of it. Wish I knew about it years ago. In any case.... fact remains... more than one person can write about a subject! And the recipes that I've looked at aren't exactly the same - so much the better for me!! (and therefore it's NOT stealing)

Haven't you ever taken a recipe out of a book, or whatever, changed it to suit YOU and YOUR family, and served it the new way? Same thing.

There's nothing here to get upset about.
