About Me
My passion for healthy eating started at a young age. I’ve always been surrounded by a family of great cooks. My love of food led me to follow my heart and train as a chef at the world renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School in County Cork, Ireland. I went on to study a PgDip in Food Product Development and have gained experience working as a cookery tutor, food product developer and menu consultant. Nowadays, as a busy mum of three, I’ve built my dream business around my family.
Hungry Munchkins was founded while I was on maternity leave with my second child.
In 2017, I set up Hungry Munchkins baby weaning classes. I saw first hand how starting solid foods can be stressful for some parents. Wading through all that information can be a challenge. I wanted to show parents how to cook healthy, homemade food for their baby and family without all the fuss.
My Story
My strong beliefs in early nutrition led me to train as a breastfeeding counsellor with Cuidiú. I’ve also recently received a Certificate in assessing and treating Picky Eaters and Problem Feeders.
I’ve brought all my experience, training and professional knowledge of food, weaning, and nutrition together to create Hungry Munchkins.

“I can't recommend Hungry Munchkins enough. Laura gave me the confidence and the know-how to help Robin develop a healthy relationship with good food which was so important to me. Weaning can be so intimidating but Laura put my mind at ease.”
