A workshop for parents and caregivers of toddlers and young children

Does getting your child to eat new foods, especially vegetables, feel like a daily struggle? You've tried everything---rewards for taking a bite, bribery with dessert, separate meals---and somehow, dinner has become a nightly negotiation. There's a better way forward. 

From Picky to Curious is a guide to calmer mealtimes and helping children become comfortable and curious about new foods. Through a curiosity-led, exploration-driven approach rooted in cooking, this workshop will introduce you to Michelle's method — simple shifts that help your child build a positive relationship with vegetables and other new foods, without pressure, tricks, or mealtime battles. 

For close to 15 years, Michelle has used this method with thousands of kids and parents in her cooking classes and workshops. She's seen firsthand how exploration, curiosity, and play with food can help even the most cautious eaters become more comfortable with foods they may have once refused. Learn how to create more peaceful dinners and real connection at the table.
