If you’ve got kids – whatever age - then this episode will make a lot of sense. As a Nutritionist and mum of a 6 & 7 year old you may think I’ve completely got our meals nutritionally balanced with clean plates every time….. My kids tastes are very different and one loves nothing more than processed food. Don’t even try to go there with vegetables! Some meals are more successful than others, and when researching kids recipe books one day I came across Little Cooks Co.  

My guest today is Helen who is also a Registered Nutritionist. Helen is mother to Artie and the founder and Director of Little Cooks Co. When her son Artie began weaning she was overwhelmed and excited by the opportunity to help his development and wellbeing through food. Helen began her own research into how she could give him the best start in life through the food, but there were a lot of conflicting messages. It was at this point that Helen decided to quit No10 and Little Cooks Co was born!

Helen’s goal is to help families make healthy choices for their children and themselves and remind them that nutritious food doesn’t have to be boring! Most importantly, it is about the time spent together, creating those memories in the kitchen that will stay with them for life.

So armed with plenty experience, who better to answer some questions about childrens nutrition:

1. Why some children don’t like veg & tips to help kids eat veg?
2. Quick healthy breakfast & snack suggestions
3. Healthy evening meals popular with kids
4. Key kitchen ingredients 
5. Tips for parents juggling work/running business whilst still wanting to cook something health with/for kids
