Hello, I’m Ciara, founder of My Fussy Eater and mum to Aoife (now aged 14) and Finn (now aged 11). I started this blog in 2014 in an attempt to get my very fussy eating daughter, then aged 3, to eat a better and more varied diet and to put some fun back into meal times.
My Fussy Eater Recipes
Since then I have shared almost 1,000 recipes on this site and My Fussy Eater has fast become one of the leading family food blogs in the UK and Ireland. My aim is to help frustrated parents, grandparents and carers introduce their reluctant eaters to mealtimes that are not only healthy but also fun.
My recipes range from nutritious breakfast options to school lunch ideas, simple but delicious evening meals and healthy snack options too.
You can find all of my recipes here but if you prefer to watch them in video format then check out Instagram and TikTok
My Fussy Eater Cookbook & App
In 2018 I published by first cookbook and also launched my App on the App Store and Google Play, both of which have been Number 1 Bestsellers.
I have since published two more cookbooks and you can read a little more about them here.
So whether you prefer to get your recipes online, in App format or the old fashioned way in a cookbook, I have something to suit everyone!
Pick Plates
During my time learning more about fussy eating, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of food presentation for children. The food itself is a big factor in picky eating but I truly believe that the manner in which it is presented can be vital in how that food is perceived by a child.
Divided or compartment plates can really help to give children choice and control over their food, promote balanced meals and snacks and very importantly make food fun and appealing.
In 2020 I launched Pick Plates, a new business selling these fun divided plates for kids and other feeding accessories. Ideal for getting your fussy eaters to eat a better and more varied diet.
We have since expanded into more mealtime products for kids including Lunchboxes, Snackle Boxes and Bento Accessories Kits
