Deana Gunn and Wona Miniati

Food writers Deana Gunn and Wona Miniati met while studying engineering at MIT. They both landed on the West coast, where Deana worked a rocket scientist and Wona was a high-tech marketing consultant with an MBA from Stanford. Two years ago, they left high-powered careers to start their own publishing company. They’re co-authors of the best-selling Cooking With All Things Trader Joes, which has 100,000 copies in print, and they just released a sequel.
