PALATE PIONEERS
Parents and their picky eaters often struggle to communicate about foods and understand the reasons behind refusing certain items. This difficulty can stem from sensory aversions, including chewy textures, new smells, or unfamiliar colors.
There is also a large generational disconnect between children and parents regarding eating habits. Previous generations were often told to “eat or go hungry,” leading to potential tension or trauma with food that may persist for many years, even into adulthood.
Palate Pioneers is a guidebook and recipe book designed to enable parents to comprehend and effectively communicate with their children regarding various food sensory aversions.
Using inviting images, visual vocabulary guides, goal charts, and recipes, Palate Pioneers aims to foster a communicative kitchen environment for families, promoting mutual understanding and the exploration of new foods that challenge specific senses.
