Praise for Michele Olivier’s first book Little Foodie:

“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.”
