If you ever catch me transforming my child’s meal into an elaborate masterpiece, please send help!
Last week, I thought I was being creative when I served dinner on those compartmentalized plates. Sweet potato fries, hot dogs, peas, and applesauce filled the sections, with ketchup zigzagged across the hot dogs and smiley faces crafted from peas. I took a moment to admire my “art,” only to realize I was just scratching the surface compared to one incredibly talented mom.
Meet Emma Johnson
Meet Emma Johnson from Melbourne, Australia, who has taken the concept of food presentation to a whole new level. Inspired by her son, she started an Instagram account called “Liam’s Food Diaries”, which has attracted nearly 50,000 followers. According to her, “I’ve always been passionate about healthy organic eating for children. Last year, I decided to turn Liam’s spelt pancakes into a lion, and he loved it! Since then, he requests characters from books, movies, or anything that catches his eye.”
Can you imagine asking her to whip up a veggie burger styled like Harry Potter? I certainly would!
Emma shared that Liam even ate the octopus she used to create Hank from Finding Dory, although she was less than enthusiastic about it. “I assumed he would be put off by the octopus, but he helped me prepare it! Meanwhile, I was trying not to gag at the sight of those huge tentacles!”
While I’ll stick to kid-friendly, non-tentacled meals for my little ones, I applaud her adventurous spirit.
Emma’s Jaw-Dropping Creations
Emma’s creations are nothing short of jaw-dropping. From an avocado Kermit to a Goofy made entirely from assorted food groups, her work is next level! And just look at this Yoda made from chicken, spinach, and cucumber—absolutely impressive!
This isn’t just a hobby for Emma; it’s a passion that helps her son eat a variety of foods beyond just cheese sticks and chicken nuggets. For her dedication and artistry, she deserves all the applause!
But honestly, if you ever spot me trying to replicate her food art in a desperate attempt to get my kids to eat, just know I might need a little intervention.
