“In May 2015, I turned my son’s spelt pancakes into a lion for a bit of fun and he loved it,” she says. “Every few days he would ask if I could make him a character from a movie, book or toy that he had seen. Jacob and I would get creative in the kitchen and discuss the ingredients that we were using and the benefits. For example, when he was 3, we would talk about how kale was a superfood. He would ask why, and I would say ‘because superheroes love eating it’ – that was a winner for him!”
