Emily Day has been working in the Organix kitchen as a food developer for the last six years, and spends her days researching, developing and tasting healthy new foods and recipes for children. Emily's love of food started at a very young age when she used to bake in the kitchen with her mum. Her passion is now to encourage children to grow up with a lifelong love of good food, which fits nicely with Organix's No Junk Promise.

What would you cook for the Queen?
Oooh tricky question. I think I would make the Queen afternoon tea which is one of my favourite things to make and eat. Tiny sandwiches, cakes, pastries and fresh slightly warm scones with homemade strawberry jam and clotted cream.
I would tell parents of fussy eaters...
Not to panic. I think all children go through a fussy stage with food. I would advise them to try and get their children to engage more with food both preparing and helping with cooking. I would encourage them to try and get their children and taste new foods and if they don't like it first time to keep trying.
My guilty food pleasure is...
Fish and chips by the seaside
