How would you describe your blog?<\/strong><\/span>
\nEats Amazing is all about making food fun for children. Whether it be fun food craft tutorials or easy recipes that children can cook themselves, I create ideas for getting kids and parents engaged with and excited about making and eating healthy foods (with a few treats thrown in too!).<\/p>\n

Why did you start your blog?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>I originally started Eats Amazing when my oldest son started school as a place to share and record the creative bento style lunches that I was packing for him each day. I was excited about this new way of packing lunches and wanted to share my experiences. Over the years the blog has evolved a lot and although I do still share plenty of advice and inspiration for packing lunches, it\u2019s now the place to go for easy fun food tutorials, totally doable food art and family friendly recipes.<\/p>\n

What are the latest trends in food and cooking we should know about?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>I don\u2019t tend to keep up very well with what\u2019s trendy to be honest, if it looks fun, I\u2019m usually willing to give it a try, but I\u2019ve never been one to follow the crowd. Having said that, it\u2019s been all about the rainbows and unicorns on the fun food scene this year and I\u2019ve enjoyed creating some really fun recipes inspired by those themes, so I look forward to seeing what 2018 holds!<\/p>\n

What will the next big thing be?<\/strong><\/span>
\nI\u2019ve noticed a lot of alternative foods appearing in the news this year, like edible insects, seaweed pasta and lab-grown meat substitutes. People are looking for more sustainable food sources and I think it\u2019s going to force us all to be a bit more adventurous and step outside the box when it comes to our food.<\/p>\n

What and where was the best meal you\u2019ve ever had?<\/strong><\/span>
\nThough I love eating out, nothing beats a meal cooked by my mum! I grew up in a busy household as one of seven children but she still managed to create amazing home-cooked meals that we sat down and ate together every day of the week. Our family Christmas dinner has got to be the highlight, it gets better every year!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favourite ingredient to cook with?<\/strong><\/span>
\nIt only takes a quick look at my blog to spot my favourite ingredient \u2013 edible candy eyes! Not the most serious of ingredients, but a couple of googly eyes can make anything fun!<\/p>\n

How do you like to work with PRs?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>My favourite campaigns are those when I have a lot of creative control so that the branded content fits in perfectly with my usual style. Several of the most popular posts on the Eats Amazing blog were created for brand campaigns \u2013 provide me with the inspiration and I\u2019ll run with it!<\/p>\n

What one thing should PRs know about you?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>I am quite selective in who I choose to work with, only promoting companies that I feel I can truly recommend to my readers. I\u2019m also a bit of a perfectionist so when I do collaborate with brands I make every effort to create the very best content possible for each campaign.<\/p>\n

Do you have an example of a great campaign or collaboration you\u2019ve worked on?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>One of my favourite campaigns this year was a collaboration with DisneyLife \u2013 I created five different family picnics, each themed around a different Disney film, then worked with the PR team to film video tutorials for them all. It was an intense campaign with a lot of hard work all round but I loved every minute of it!<\/p>\n

What other blogs do you read?<\/strong><\/span>
\nI love the community to be found around blogging and like to dip into lot of parenting, craft and of course food blogs. My favourite blogs are My Fussy Eater<\/a>, A Mummy Too<\/a>, Charlotte\u2019s Lively Kitchen<\/a> and Le Coin De Mel<\/a>. They all create fantastic family friendly recipes and showcase them with gorgeous photography in their own individual styles.<\/p>\n
