Making mealtimes easier for my clients often starts by re-prioritising them and their needs.  

Why? Because if they are looking after themselves, nourishing their bodies and eating the foods which bring them joy then it makes it easier for them to support their child to develop a love of food. But also, their child will see their parents enjoying their food instead of being miserable eating it – imagine the impact that can have.  

This rainbow-coloured smoked mackerel rice salad is a feast for the eyes and the belly. Who wouldn’t smile when seeing a beautiful bowlful?   

Mix up the salad for yourself, leaving a little bit of every ingredient to serve separately on a plate so that your child can create their own salad, exploring the elements they feel comfortable approaching.
