About the solution
It all started when the artist was pregnant with her second child. Lee knew that newborns commanded a lot of time and that if she could get her eldest daughter to eat independently, it would free up more of the precious resource.
She started creating food art to help her eldest daughter eat independently back in 2008 and started posting on Instagram in 2011.
Now Samantha has a growing following of more than half a million on Instagram thanks to her creative and unique way of approaching mealtimes.
Samantha’s approach is fuss free and imaginative, using simple tools to create her food artworks. She doesn’t believe in wasting food and is a strong believer of utilising fresh and healthy ingredients.
Not only are Lee’s food artworks wildly creative, but they are also homemade and healthy.
She says that, while her kids love how cute and creative the food is, they have no problem eating it. Instead, they like to make up stories about their food as they feast.
“I've never been to any cooking class or training before. I'm a very ordinary stay (at) home mom,” Lee, who lives in Malaysia, told TODAY Moms. I didn't expect it to grow so much. I'm thankful for what is happening to me at the moment.”
Lee usually uses rice, bread, vegetables and fruits as the basic building blocks, adding other touches depending on the dish. Fresh ingredients are key because they’re colorful and make the food look more appetizing, Lee said.
