About the Author
One Handed Cooks is a baby, toddler and family food website that features a wide range of simple, healthy and clever recipes to help parents make food a source of enjoyment and nourishment for their children. Written with an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) as part of the team, it also offers friendly and realistic nutrition information, as well as tips and strategies to help manage fussy eating behaviours. They have written a collection of much-loved magazines and in 2016 they published their best-selling, self-titled cookbook One Handed Cooks- How to raise a healthy, happy eater - from baby to school age, and have since become an Australian leader in the area of baby, toddler and family food. Allie Gaunt Formerly a professional nanny and advertising copywriter, Allie, now a mum of three gorgeous children, is the creator and co-director of the hugely successful One Handed Cooks blog. When her first child, Harry, started solids in 2012 she found herself preparing food with a baby on one hip and was keen to connect with other parents and share her positive experiences. Allie is passionate about feeding children nutritious, homemade food and making mealtimes happy, and she has inspired families around the world to make positive, healthy changes for their children. Jessica Beaton Jessica is an Accredited Practising Dietitian with a passion for starting solids and inspiring families to enjoy happy mealtimes and a healthy love of food. She is a co-director of One Handed Cooks, a keen cook and combines her personal journey as a mum of three fun-loving boys with 17 years of evidence-based training and experience as a dietitian to simplify the science and educate parents in a friendly and practical way. Since joining One Handed Cooks in 2012 Jessica has undergone further training in 'Picky Eaters vs Problem Feeders- The Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding' and 'Making SENSE of Mealtimes'. Sarah Buckle Sarah is a dedicated primary school teacher and much-loved aunty of five with a passion for baking. A co-director of One Handed Cooks, she is also the photographer and food stylist, capturing the enjoyment of childhood and cherished food moments while showcasing simple, wholesome food to perfection.
