A children's book series for foodies - each book concludes with a recipe so that the learning continues and families can recreate the fun of discovering good food in their own homes.

    In the first book, “Le Chef’s Baby goes to Market”, Clementine visits the local Farmer’s Market with her Papa and interacts with the different vendors. Through the story, Clementine discovers juicy peaches, crusty baked bread and fresh vegetables.
