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 healthy foods from first purees, to toddler snacks, to school lunches, to party foods, and family meals. Barnes offers in-home private cooking classes, group workshops, school consultations, 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 snacks, drinks and meals for their children and families.
Barnes shares her experience, research, cooking and food packing tips, and of course, recipes in her cookbooks, as they focus on creating easy, tasty, everyday foods for a lifetime of healthy eating habits. |
