In today's episode, I had such a fun and eye-opening chat with Cherie Mercer Twohy, the author of The I Love Trader Joe’s Cookbook! We talked about how she turned her love for Trader Joe’s into a bestselling cookbook series and why the store is a hidden gem for smart shoppers. From budget-friendly meal ideas to tips on making the most of seasonal deals, Cherie shares how Trader Joe’s can help stretch your dollar without sacrificing flavor.

About our guest
Cherie Mercer Twohy is a food writer, culinary tour leader and unabashed Trader Joe's stockpiler. After 15 years of teaching thousands of students to fall in love with Trader Joe's, Cherie moved to a tiny town on the Oregon coast, where she sees whales from her window. She lives 60 miles from her closest TJ's but still makes frequent provisioning trips. With four I Love Trader Joe's books to her credit, she is currently at work on a novel about a cheese whisperer. She always carries a corkscrew and a cheese knife.
