Founded by Joanna Neeson, WYSE (What You Should Eat) Bites provides a wide array
of presentations and cookery demonstrations surrounding the topic of healthy
eating. Joanna has worked as a chef for 20+ years, has a BA in food science and
is currently working towards an MA. BSc HONS Food Technology Post graduate

of my favourite areas of work is in the Food Sensory Field and it’s a service
which has become more and more in demand. The Wyse Bites model for Food Sensory
Programmes has proven effective to date for children and young adults with
additional needs, and who have food selectivity, otherwise known as Picky
Eating. Common signs of food selectivity, are repetitive eating of the favourite
food at every meal, refusal of other foods and an increase in negative
behaviour. I have witnessed, first hand, the increased stress and frustration
for the parents, as well as negative feelings and attitudes towards mealtimes
and family routines. Amongst other things, our programmes encourage children who
are Picky Eaters to feel, play, smell and taste new foods that they may never
have encountered before and allow them to be involved in the experience of
mealtimes in a fun, interactive and stress-free environment.
