Almost 7 years ago now, she and friend and colleague Maeve O'Meara created the best-selling SBS Eating Guides to Sydney and Melbourne. They then went on to make the TV series 'Food Lover's Guide to Australia'.Joanna still works as a freelance translator and writer - a biography of Christian Dior translated by her from the original French was published in New York two years ago. She has also written a history of Italian women in Australia, commissioned by the National Italian-Australian Women's Association. She has been a guest speaker at community, educational and government functions.
