Since I have been on a Golden Yogurt “thing” for some months (eating every day and frequent mentions in blog posts) I have received a few messages and comments from readers requesting the full recipe.

The photo shoot is done (for full color photos throughout), the illustrator is hard at work, and the creative director has a beautiful vision for the book’s design. So many hours! But so exciting to see this mammoth project getting closer to completion.

Happy New Year! What a great way to start it off….
