I’m here to encourage children to cook more, and give them all they need to develop a healthy relationship with food.

My lightbulb moment!
While studying at Leiths cookery school, I realised food isn’t just… food. Yes, it’s a delicious way to fill our stomachs, but it’s much more than that. It helps us see, think and feel better. I wanted to share that knowledge with the world – especially children. And just like that, Not Just Nibbles was created. Cooking subscription boxes that take children on a culinary adventure round the world, teaching them all about healthy eating along the way…
We believe in education
Children can be fussy, we all know that. But I don’t believe that repeatedly telling them to eat their greens, hiding vegetables in their meals or putting them on a diet is the solution. This only makes them dread mealtimes even more.
At Not Just Nibbles, we’re here to make food fun. Whether it’s bringing flavours from around the world, inviting children to write stories about veggies or using cool badges to encourage healthy habits, our cooking kits for kids are designed to teach them how great food can be, for both our mind and body. Once we challenge their perceptions around the dreaded greens, they (eventually) enjoy eating them!
We believe in learning early
Preparing meals doesn’t have to be a chore. When shown at a young age, your littl’uns will love to cook, bake and (safely) chop ingredients.
And I am determined to teach them all – one cooking subscription box at a time. Because I believe that when they’re encouraged early, children can gain the insights, tips, tricks and tools they need to enjoy cooking healthy meals all their lives.
At Not Just Nibbles, we’re helping your little fussy eaters grow into, not just skilled home chefs, but healthier adults too.
But don't just take my word for it...
I never thought my son would like spinach. Let alone try it. But the Peruvian burger recipe sure changed his mind. Thank you Not Just Nibbles for helping me feed my kid some greens!
