JVG Events - Yum In My Tum
JVG Events - Event, Tour and Personality Management
 
ShareHaving grown up with a serious dislike of veggies and trying any new culinary experiences, I have always understood fussy eaters.... However, over recent years I have discovered the pleasure of trying new foods. With this in mind and drawing upon my previous teaching experiences, I decided to create an event which combined my own personal passions - namely educating children and cooking.
 
Yum In My Tum is my way of giving back to my local community and I hope throughout all our attempts we reach just one child and spark that cooking passion for life. I've been told that Yum is the only food festival in Australia  for junior foodies and of this I will always be proud.
 
Every day parents around the country are looking for answers and help to that life mystery of why children don't eat their greens...and I hope we can help in some small way.We hope you all enjoy the festival and that you support us in our new magazine.
 
Many thanks
Jo
