Amy Burrell B.Des.(Hons.)
Creator and founder
Amy Burrell is the driving force behind the ‘What’s for Lunch?’ and ‘Know Me Eat Me’ food education programmes. As an author, illustrator, mother, speaker and children’s cook Amy is using her creativity to change the future of young kiwis through the food they eat. Her love of healthy food started as a thirteen year old cooking for her family of six while both her parents milked cows on their dairy farm. Amy has developed a sound collection of cooking and nutrition knowledge which she practices personally daily as a mum of two pre schoolers. Working as a chef at an Early Childcare Centre she realised she could share her knowledge to shape children’s future health and fill a missing gap in their education. This led to a collection of programmes for primary schools and ECEs which have impacted the lives of over 15,000 children.
