The very elaborate way Chrissy Teigen is getting daughter Luna to eat dinner

As most parents will attest, getting small children to eat their dinner can be an uphill battle.

Chrissy Teigen is one woman who knows the struggle, telling her 10 million Twitter followers: “I always came from the mindset of ‘eat what we serve or go to bed hungry’ but I'm officially owned by my toddler, struggling to make a *dinner* luna likes aside from spaghetti and fish sticks.... any ideas welcome!!”

But now Teigen says she's found an inventive way to get her daughter to eat - by turning the Legend family kitchen into a mini restaurant.

“I'm spending my days making a menu, cooking and plating every meal and taking pics so my DARLING ANGEL will eat something WHO HAVE I BECOME...I just love projects” she wrote.

Teigen revealed she's created a mini recipe binder for her daughter, complete with laminated photos of menu options dished up on Peppa Pig plates. Top marks for presentation.

After calls to “show us the binder!” on Twitter, Teigen complied. The recipes include chicken with broccoli and ham and cheese “Lunables.” She also offers up a simple Grilled Cheese - guess Luna wasn’t feeling the Jalapeño Parmesan-Crusted Grilled Cheese in her mother's cookbook Cravings.
