Love Jo’s recipes and cannot wait for the book to come out.
Her olive tapenade is delicious, planning to make some this weekend.
We can’t wait for it to come out either.. she’ll keep us going with a few recipes in the meantime! Enjoy the tapenade and thanks for your comment 🙂
Great Idea! Can’t wait for the book and more recipies – I’m still amazed at how Jo manages to cook cake that tastes so good but is still healthy!
I know it’s hard to believe the cakes are healthy they taste so good. More recipes will be coming soon and I don’t think the cookbook will be too far off now! Thanks for your comment Ziad.
