Alaina Chou head shot - Bon Appétit

Alaina Chou

Commerce Writer

Alaina has been creating commerce content and testing everything from air fryers to meal kits for Bon Appétit and Epicurious since 2022. Her work covers a wide range of topics including the best-tasting whey protein, the healthy snacks she can’t live without, and how to outfit your kitchen like Carmy from FX’s The Bear. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where she studied Fine Arts, Alaina spends (most of) her free time cooking, hosting, nerding out on kitchen gear, and eating her way through the New York food scene. She worked in food styling, content creation, and marketing before landing back in her hometown of Brooklyn and joining the food brands at Condé Nast.
