In a city so rich in culinary culture, Lisa Barnes, owner of Petit Appetit, wondered why so many children were eating strange colored, mass produced food from a jar. "When attending baby showers, all of the moms said they intended to make their own baby food," says Barnes. But months later when the babies were ready to eat solids, those moms didn't have the time or energy
to research recipes and didn't trust their culinary skills with baby food.
Who could blame them? That's why Barnes' company, Petit Appetit, offers a convenient and healthy approach to those parents who want to feed their children fresh, organic baby food and toddler meals. Barnes offers in-home private cooking classes, group workshops and cooking demonstrations throughout the Bay Area to empower parents with the nutritional information and cooking skills necessary to provide easy to prepare, healthy, organic meals for their family.
"Pediatricians believe first foods can have permanent effects on growth, strength, the immune system and intelligence." "I would like to help parents give their children a healthy start, and introduce nutritious ingredients to feed their minds and bodies," Barnes says. "Plus parents can teach children to expand their tastes and have the same high quality food standards and healthy eating habits as they do." |
