We bring food to life through stories and recipes that center parenting, health and fitness, sports, travel, and relationships, and make life more delicious.

At Bon Appétit, we explore every aspect of food culture from a global perspective. We are the source for culinary shows you want to binge, weeknight dishes that make feeding families easier, recipes that entertain, and, of course, the ambitious storytelling about the ways food shapes our lives, our communities, and our conversations.

Bon Appétit is at the center of the culinary zeitgeist, identifying trends, introducing products, and providing context and analysis. Our dining and drinks coverage takes you inside restaurants worldwide to bring you stories, essays, and interviews with chefs, bartenders, celebrities, and changemakers from fascinating destinations throughout the hospitality industry. It all culminates with our annual list of Best New Restaurants and Best Bars.

Founded in 1956, Bon Appétit is the industry leader for print and digital food media. We are the source for original recipes from the Bon Appétit test kitchen—including more than 60,000 recipes from our archives—that help to define how every generation cooks, whether it’s for a date night or a Thanksgiving feast.

Bon Appétit

Have a smart cooking tip or some grocery store wisdom? Pitch us on a technique that changed your pie crust game (hello, laminated dough) or the secret to chewier cookies at home (it’s agave syrup). Write about why you always keep a bottle of abalone sauce in your fridge or the best way to keep basil from wilting. Be as focused as possible. Instead of suggesting a tahini tell-all, pitch a story about why you store your tahini jar upside down. These stories should drive to existing recipes within the Bon Appétit/Epicurious archive (we have over 50,000) and not rely on new recipe development.

Shopping Stories

Spot something in the food world that you think speaks to the way we live now? We’re always looking for pieces that explore cultural trends, moments, and behaviors. We’re interested in stories about what’s happening in food culture, including how people interact with food on the internet, deep dives into regional food favorites such as Provel cheese, answers to timely questions that are popping off online, and historical dives into modern trends. It can be a report based on something happening in pop culture, such as this piece on why fine dining chefs struggled to watch the FX show “The Bear.”

Culture Stories

Spot something in the restaurant world that’s worth a deeper dive? It could be a trend: an ingredient, a dish, a design element, or a method of service that’s suddenly all over the place. It could be a change in the way that people are doing business that will impact diners across the country. Or it could be the story of one fascinating person, and how their work is impacting broader restaurant culture.


First-person perspectives: If you feel like you have a unique perspective on the restaurant industry, or a current, timely topic in the restaurant space, we want to hear from you. Have you spent time in kitchens, working front of house, on a farm, or even as a food critic? We’re looking for thoughtful, highly opinionated first-person essays.
