Joanna Miller

Joanna Miller has spent her life sampling as many different kinds of food as she could get her hands on. As the youngest of three kids, she was the "Mikey" of the family, always game to try "new foods".

The enthusiasm of her parents waned, however, when they soon realized that this meant their stash of lox, pickled herring and unsweetened baking chocolate was not safe from their eight-year old daughter's exploring hands (and mouth.)

Though her educational and professional background is in Film, Communications and commercial photo production, she has never forsaken her original love of good-tastin' vittles. She is a weekly contributor to Sugar Savvy, a candy blog on carpe-cookie.com, (which includes her cookie blog, in addition to other writing samples, etc.). And when she's not writing about candy and cookies, she bores her friends and family by offering unsolicited opinions and recommendations on recipes, specialty grocery stores, bakeries and restaurants.
