Who are Little Eats?

A Foodie Family...

My name is Jemma and I am a Mum to two gorgeous little chickadees – India Grace and Aurora Belle, both under two. In my previous life, pre-babes, I worked in Communications, Marketing, and Advertising. I love food, good food at that and enjoy cooking, entertaining and eating out. I am also proud to say that since becoming a Mamma I recently discovered a new found love of baking and regularly try and channel my inner domestic goddess by whipping up batches of scones with home-made strawberry jam and cream, muffins and chocolate chip cookies. I have a bit of an obsession with glossy food and lifestyle magazines and cookbooks with pretty pictures. I love Melbourne’s cool cafe scene, discovering and trying out new places, drinking good coffee, long leisurely brunches, sneaky coffees and cakes, going on picnics, having BBQ’s, visiting wineries, catching up with friends and just getting out and about enjoying and making the most of this beautiful life and amazing city we live in.

My husband Van has been in the hospitality and wine industry for nearly 20 years and has worked in a number of Melbourne’s restaurants, bars and cafes. In fact that is how we met – I was his customer, however that one is definitely a story for another day! His background is European so he has a natural love affair with food (his father was a chef) and a passion for wine, and he too loves good food, wine, coffee, eating out and entertaining with friends and family.

India is eighteen months old and as an integral part of the Little Eats team, has already visited many cafes, restaurants, pubs and wineries around Melbourne and a few in Europe and Asia too – everything from Buddha Bar in Paris to a local warung on the beach in Bali. She loves soaking up the cafe atmosphere, people watching, trying new dishes and batting her long eye-lashes at waiters. She is a big fan of the babycino, (and Mummy is a big fan of the marshmallows on the side!), as well as gingerbread men, cupcakes and muffins.

Aurora is the most recent addition to the Little Eats team, and at just a few weeks old has already visited an impressive number of Melbourne’s cafes. Blissfully unaware of her surroundings, she is generally strapped to Mummy’s chest, sleeping peacefully in the baby capsule or snuggled close in Mummy or Daddy’s arms, while the rest of the Little Eats team eat, enjoy and review.

Together, the four of us, make up Little Eats.

On the weekends, and some sneaky weekdays too, we can be found out and about enjoying good coffee and yummy food, whilst sussing out Melbourne’s famed cafe culture and it’s suitability for little ones. We love what we do... and we do what we love!

Love Little Eats...
