Something a majority of parents are faced with at some point during their children’s life is picky eating. Here to provide some much need light on the issue is Louise Lennox an accredited fussy eating expert and runs a course called Picky Eaters Mealtime Makeover.

Louise has work as a TV chef and food writer – she was a favourite on RTÉ’s The Restaurant as a pastry chef – but for years, she’s been training and specialising in what she describes as her real purpose in life, to help empower parents at the table.

Her son Alex’s refusal to eat as a young child, quite simply, broke her heart.

At one point, there were just ten foods in total that he would eat. Desperate to understand more about why some children refuse to eat, Louise went to the US and trained with the world’s leading pediatricians in children’s feeding disorders and her mind was blown.
