A Q&A with VITA Magazine
Meet Jo Mandet—Bon Vivant Catering’s whip-smart event planner by day and flour-dusted baker by night. A North Vancouver mom who learned to bake at her mother’s elbow and now bakes alongside her four kids, Jo trades behind-the-scenes party magic for primetime ovens as a contestant on Season 9 of The Great Canadian Baking Show (premieres this Sunday). Curious what it’s like to swap timelines for tarts, juggle family traditions with camera-ready creations, and bring event-planner precision to pastry? Jo’s fun, honest, and full of surprises—let’s sit her down and get the scoop. —Noa Nichol
