Cookbook author Emma, known as @terriannskitchen on Instagram, posted the heartwarming video on the 6 of March showing 30 unique meals for her 12-year-old son.
The video reveals an incredible variety of dishes, including chicken stews, curries with rice, fried chicken pieces, pasta with vegetables, shredded meat, pizza, barbecue wings, skewers, mashed potatoes, and steamed vegetables. Each meal looks perfectly balanced with healthy options alongside the occasional indulgent treat like sticky wings or pizza that any child would love.

Emma's cookbook success and recipes
According to Terri Ann's Kitchen, Emma has turned her passion for cooking into a successful business, writing bestselling cookbooks that she promotes through her Instagram page. Her recipe e-books include titles like Bon Manjé 'Thanks Mum' Vol 1 and Bon Manjé 'Thanks Mum' Vol 2, along with bundle deals for those wanting multiple books.
The author's cooking journey began in St. Lucia, where she was raised by her grandparents. Her grandmother, described as "a wonderful farmer's wife," introduced Terri Ann to food from a young age. By age 8, she was already helping on the farm and learning to prepare ingredients like yams, bananas, sweet potatoes, and breadfruit.
Her real name is Emma, but she uses her middle name, Terri-Ann, professionally. According to her story, her mother wanted to name her Terri-Ann, but her grandmother worried it would be too long for a child to learn to spell in school, so they chose Emma instead.
The influence of her grandmother's kitchen stayed with Emma throughout her life. She remembers stirring pots and tasting for salt and flavour under her grandmother's guidance, experiences that shaped her into the skilled cook she is today.
