Melissa

I'm a mom of four, television host and cookbook author, living just outside of San Diego. I believe in the power of the family meal and created The Picky Eaters Project to share my approach for helping my kids go from picky to more adventurous with families everywhere. Picky eating is something so many of us face. Now we can tackle it together.

Philippe

He's the best eater ever. But what people don't know about Philippe is that he is an amazing cook in his own right. We are a divide-and-conquer family out of necessity, so I do most of the cooking at home, but given a day all to himself, he'll be found tinkering with a cool new way to roast a duck.

Valentine

The oldest of the girls, Valentine (8) is very maternal toward her three younger sisters and was a big part in helping to formulate the ideas behind The Picky Eaters Project (especially the ice cream swap). She's extremely proud of the ownership in this program. She, luckily, loves just about everything. Fun fact: Her favorite food is duck liver pate.
