As a Vancouver-based freelance writer, Jo-Anne Lauzer enjoys collaborating on innovative and creative writing projects, especially when food is involved. She is an avid cookbook collector (new and used) who enjoys testing recipes and reads cookbooks like other people read magazines. Jo-Anne is also a savvy secondhand shopper with a passion for food, community, storytelling, sustainability and reducing waste. As well as being a regular contributor to edible Vancouver & Wine Country, Jo-Anne writes for Canadian Antiques & Vintage Magazine and has been a judge for the Taste Canada Awards, which she hopes helps to explain her rather large but greatly loved cookbook collection.
