I recently purchased a copy of the Taste eatreal 17-minute meals cookbook. For those who wanted a copy of the recipe I made on our Noosa training camp this week either read below or click on the link. It was quick, easy and yum! Thank you Taste for pulling together a great book! I’m looking forward to trying out the next one!
