We are thrilled to have Broadcaster, Chef and Children's Fussy Eating Expert, Louise Lennox and her amazing kids; Alex and Lottie Bow, on the cover of our autumn issue. We had a lot of fun on set with Amanda from Amanda Hatton Photography. Louise had told me before about the struggle she had with her son as a toddler and how fussy eating had led to shocking weight loss, mood swings and illness after illness.
