Many families wrestle with the challenges posed by having a picky eater; and it's not just a problem for children, either! When you think that the average household has to navigate their way through more than 1,000 mealtimes every year there's no shortage of opportunities for conflict, tears and tantrums.

In her book First Bite: How We Learn To Eat she looks at how we learn to eat, and the latest thinking and science on how we can change our taste and flavour preferences.
