You'll notice I mentioned my mother in law, GoGo, a few times in this book. A great cook, she's always introducing me to new flavors and recipes that inspire me in the kitchen. Over Christmas one year, she threw some of what she called "olive puffs" in the oven for an appetizer and, as a very avid olive fan, I immediately fell in love. I've made a gluten free and grain free rendition of her recipe and it's perfect to pop in the oven when you have guests over as an easy yet impressive and flavourful appetizer!
