Karen Bali is self employed and married with two children aged 12 and 9. Fearing her children were becoming 'chicken nugget junkies' she teamed up with Sally Child to develop a book that will help busy working parents offer a healthier family diet. She hates cooking and is definitely not a domestic goddess.
Sally Child is a nutritional therapist with a background as a nurse and health visitor and has three grown-up daughters and a grandson. She lectures on children's nutrition and has written other books on the subject including Dealing With Difficult Eaters.
