Today is the day! The Big Book Of Jo’s Quick & Easy Meals is finally out in the world today! A few delays but it’s finally out!

the big book of jo's quick and easy meals

It feels like we’ve waited forever but after about 16 months of hard work and a million edits I can finally say this:

The Big Book Of Jo’s Quick & Easy Meals is finally here and available for ORDER!

It’s available NOW everywhere books are sold! It took a long time but I’m so happy and excited that I can finally share this book with you which I am certain you guys are going to love! I’m here to show you you that simple does not mean bland: these 200, gorgeously shot recipes are as delectable as they are easy to whip up.

Before I go on, I want to thank you all for all your support, thank you to all my readers who have already preordered the book, and hanging in there throughout all the delays. It’s been a tough year for all of us and there have been delays that were out of our control. I asked for your patience, and you were all very kind in your emails and comments, so thank you!

Inside The Book

It was a hard job deciding which recipes were going to make it into this book but I’m certain you’ll love what I chose. I’m talking 15 chapters of delicious recipes that are quick and easy, perfect for any occasion! You’ll get a total of 200 recipes, each with its own beautiful photo. The chapters themselves are as follows:

  • Chicken
  • Beef
  • Pork
  • Seafood
  • Vegetarian
  • Pasta
  • Casseroles
  • Breakfast
  • Lunch
  • Soups
  • Starters
  • Salads
  • Sides
  • Breads and Rolls
  • Desserts

It’s safe to say I pretty much covered everything. Yes, I even have a vegetarian chapter!

You guys loved my first cookbook, but I listened to you. The number one thing you guys asked me for was nutritional information, so I’m happy to say that each and every recipe in this book has nutritional information! On top of that, every recipes has its own notes, to help you with storing leftovers or any useful tips and tricks.

So share them with me, I’d love to see what you guys come up with!

    I have never found a recipe on Jo Cooks that I did not love. The range and diversity of your offerings are fabulous and so tempting. When I receive an e-mail from you, my mouth starts watering before I even open it! So I would be thrilled to win copies of your cookbooks to replace downloads.

    I was delighted to get your book yesterday. Hubs is too, new meals instead of the same fall back ones. I made Garlic Paprika Chicken and we both loved it. Your recipe comments are helpful and fun to read. I can see all the work that went into this wonderful book, Jo. If I could add a photo, you works see a lot of sticky notes! Thank you!!
