   Cooking with Trader Joe's's Blurbs
About me:
We're Deana Gunn and Wona Miniati. We're the authors of "Cooking with All Things Trader Joe's," the new independent cookbook for Trader Joe's fans. We grew up in homes where we learned to cook from scratch, the way our mothers taught us...but as adults we soon found that time-consuming recipes weren't cutting it in a fast-paced world.

We met while in college at MIT and immediately hit it off as great friends. Over the years, as our lives became more hectic juggling kids and full-time jobs, we discovered ways to become fast and efficient cooks. Rather than resort to fast-food or frozen dinners, we found that by using prepped ingredients at Trader Joe's, it suddenly became completely doable to eat fabulous homemade meals every day and throw dinner parties without breaking a sweat.

Time and time again, as we shopped the aisles at Trader Joe’s, we overheard people saying, “What do you do with quinoa? How do I use tapenade? What goes in Curry Simmer Sauce?” Before we knew it, we had written a cookbook.

Everyone wants to eat great food, and so many of us have limited time to cook it at home. If you shop at Trader Joe's, or are TJ-curious, stop by and visit for new ideas and recipes!

Check out our website at www.cookingwithtraderjoes.com

Who I'd like to meet:
Trader Joe's fans, time-starved professionals, busy moms, foodies, anyone with a love for good food, from kitchen novices to culinary veterans.

The TJ mini cooper was given to the top store in the region for that year. Orland Park was the number one store . There was a sign up sheet, and for one year any crew member was able to use it. It was a really sweet prize.
Take care and keep up the great work
