These photographs transport us into a captivating world of boundless imagination and joy that children experience when it comes to their favorite food. For us, adults, these dishes may seem ordinary and simple. However, my children have an extraordinary love for this food, and I wanted to immerse myself in their world of fantasy to understand why these dishes hold such special and delightful appeal to them. I decided to view them through the eyes of a child. Each photo presents a unique story, where food transforms into magical tales.
