Little Foodie: Baby Food Recipes for Babies and Toddlers with Taste

A one-of-a-kind playful cookbook to boost nutrition and develop even the youngest palates using whole foods, herbs, and spices in recipes that both babies and parents will love. The food you eat, but smaller!

Publisher Marketing: Select contributed recipes from baby food bloggers OR chefs from established foodie restaurants with recipe adaptations for baby.Our primary competitive titles are focused on 4-12 months, and focused on purees and thus, basic guides to help parents get started with smooth and slightly textured food. Our book is not a competitor but rather a complement. We feature just enough purees to introduce a variety of flavors early to babies, but our book seeks to help parents go to the next level with post-puree recipes that allow their baby to eat what they're eating (and ensuring that these foods provide proper nutrition to growing little ones). Commendation Quotes : ...we love Olivier s depiction of a foodie superhero an adventurous eater who isn t afraid to at least taste everything, and her cookbook features awesome tips for turning your tiny taster into a true food lover. Why You Should Buy It: Olivier recognizes that parents need to eat too, and includes fun drink pairings for the grown-up set. It s truly a cookbook for the whole family.
