As the deputy editor at Gourmet Traveller, Anna McCooe has the world’s best gig. She spends her days travelling to amazing places, eating great food, looking at beautiful things and then curating it all into influential and endlessly glossy magazines. With two decades under her belt in print media, she has toured celebrity homes for Marie Claire (and as the editor of Marie Claire Lifestyle), previewed five-star hotels for Australian Financial Review and reported on trends for Home Beautiful, Vogue Living and Inside Out. At Gourmet Traveller she investigates the fine line between a good hotel and a great one and debating the merits of hot restaurants. Seriously, she gets paid for this.
