Foodoppi

Aisling Larkin and Louise Lennox both share a passion for food, science and nutrition. In 2016 they decided it was time to join forces, and combine over thirty years of experience. Foodoppi was born. The name Foodoppi means ‘food learning’ in Finnish. In 2017 Foodoppi was one of 10 companies selected from thousands across Europe to further develop their food education program in Finland, who are the world leaders in education.

Since Foodoppi’s inception, Aisling and Louise have developed food and science courses for The Department Of Education, to help bring food literacy into the classroom. They have worked directly with schools across Ireland teaching children how to eat and engage with food in a positive manner.

Aisling and Louise are two of Ireland’s well known and valued food media broadcasters who regularly contribute to live tv shows, radio interviews, podcasts and various forms of digital and print media sharing their expertise and advice on areas of family feeding

Outside of the classroom Foodoppi began to help parents who were experiencing difficulties in getting their children to eat. As two busy mothers themselves with young children, Aisling and Louise could identify with the pains of modern family life. Louise experienced first-hand what the stresses and problems living with a fussy eating child can bring and impact on the child’s well-being. In order to expand their knowledge in this area, they travelled to America and trained at The Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston, Texas.
