Indian mother's fine art of healthy food for fussy eater

Like many mothers, Smita Srivastava has a child who is a picky eater. But the Indian housewife has gone to greater lengths than most to entice her four-year-old, Nandika, to the dinner table.



The 31-year-old full-time mum transforms plates of food into colourful animals, people and pictures to liven up meal times. Last year she started a blog, Little Food Junction, which has become a hit and inspiration to other mothers.



Mrs Srivastava says: "I'm a sucker for cute food and pretty stuff, and I find it works its charm on the most stubborn of kids."
