A little over a year ago I started turning my son's healthy organic meals into famous cartoon characters for some fun.
Who would have thought these creations would turn into a full-time business and allow us to work with the world's biggest production companies!

Carl From Up As A Christmas An Angel
Mash potato, chicken, lettuce and whole meal wrap.
Johnny From Sing
Mash potato with Wild Rice, eggplant and carrots.
Carl & Ellie From Up
Free range chicken with mashed potato(dyed with a little bit of beetroot), wholemeal wrap, noodles and edible flowers.
The Mad Hatter From Alice Through The Looking Glass
Potato with carrots, leek, wholemeal wrap and eggplant.
Mike, Sully, Randall, And Roz From Monster Inc
Coconut sticky rice balls stuffed with shredded free range chicken and veggies ( Red cabbage, Purple carrots, cold-pressed kale juice and saffron have been used to dye rice).
Goofy
Roast chicken with wild rice, mash potatoes, broccoli and tomato.
Red Queen From Alice Through The Looking Glass
Cream cheese, funghus, leek, purple and cabbage.
Maui From Moana
Mash potato with black bean noodle and spring onion.
Ash From Sing
Mash potato with wild rice and eggplant.
Mickey And His Friends Goofy And Pluto
Mash potato, sweet potato, rainbow chard, wholemeal wrap, romanesco broccoli, wild rice and black beans.
Some might criticize the "raw" ingredients, but I think it is more about associating "fun and pleasure" with food, ingredients and cooking. I think it is so important for kids to establish a good relationship with food, and this is such a creative and fun way to do it! :)
While I can appreciate the creativity behind these , this lady has seriously to much time on her hands.
It's turned into a business so definitely a good use of her time

It is really amazing but your son is really easy going if he accepts eating not cooked rice and eggplants
Laleh, sorry about the trolls. I freaking LOVED your art and it made me smile. And hungry. The way you've creatively expressed your love to your son is extremely special. He's always going to remember these so fondly. Forget the made up negativity people are posting just to get a response. This is great stuff.
Thank you so much for your comment Tracey- it means the world :) xx

These are completely adorable, but are they really meant to be eaten? The eggplant doesn't look cooked.
Thank you x The characters from Sing were commissioned pieces for Universal and not for my little boy to eat :)

These all look amazing, so creative, but they look like they taste bland. Also after all that work is the food served cold? Cold mash?! Ugh.
Thank you :) I can assure you that the food is definitely not served cold :) and as for taste I haven't had any complaints so far :) x

Potatoes are actually filled with fiber and they have a certain type of resistant starch in them that can help people lose weight. :)

Thanks but my son is definitely not a spoilt brat - quite the opposite. We do these for a bit of fun and only a few times a day :)
