Jessica Beaton who always wanted to work in health. With a passion for sport, physical activity, cooking and enjoying good food it seemed like a natural path to follow. Since completing her university degree in Nutrition and Dietetics she's been working as a clinical dietitian for over 7 years and as an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) with the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA).

As a new mum to to her gorgeous boy George she's amazed at how fast bubs grow and how quickly they learn. Now as we begin the exciting (and delightfully messy) journey of starting solids she's applying what she know now, plus learning some new things along the way, to help provide george with all his nutritious needs and encourage healthy eating behaviours from the start.

Seeing the delicious and nutritious recipes Allie has been creating for her Harry and the inspiration that it has provided for other families has been wonderful. She hope to share with you some more healthy recipes and helpful nutrition tips to further inspire good health in your children and in yourselves.

Allie Gaunt is a devoted mama, a writer and a cook. Two years ago she left her career as an advertising copywriter to raise her beautiful son Harry, and have never looked back. She also spent many years as a nanny, she saw various families feed their children in different ways.

The difference between the children who ate a range of healthy foods compared to those who didn’t was very obvious in all aspects of behavior, sleeping and development. she promised herself there and then she would invest time in cooking food and food knowledge when she had her own children. So when her precious Harry started solids she found herself spending a serious amount of time in the kitchen.

Testing flavours and consistencies became her new life and she invented new recipe ideas that Harry absolutely loved, and other mums wanted to try. She started a blog, and shared each and every recipe, with the goal to inspire others to get back to basics and cook beautifully simple, nutritious food for their children.
