PICS: The Most Creative Approach To Getting Your Child To Eat Their Greens

We want our own plate creations!

Her

Remember when you had the vegetable stand-off with your mum at dinner time as a kid? Or if you were picky and ate around certain food groups.

Chances are there was a war of words and neither party ended up too happy. So whether you’re the mum or the kid in this scenario, you’re about to REALLY appreciate these works of art from one talented chef.

Brazilian Nívea Salgado has found the cutest way to coax her daughter out of her picky eating ways and it involves using the plate as a blank canvass for childhood favourites.

It seems to have worked in winning over Catarina, whose aunt Monique said:

“Catarina eats very well, not only fruit but also vegetables. She even helps elaborate the dishes by asking her mom to add the images of her favourite characters and stuffed animals to them.”

We’re not sure if we’d be able to eat anything that looks this pretty, but we’re more than happy to pine for our own sample dish.
