Christina Chaey head shot - Bon Appétit

Christina Chaey

Senior Food Editor

As the senior food editor at Bon Appétit, Christina spends her days in the BA Test Kitchen dreaming up recipes for home cooks (Chocolate-Matcha Butter Mochi Cake and Green Curry Lentil Soup are favorites). She also oversees the brand’s digital recipe content, working with freelancers and test kitchen staff to publish hundreds of home cook-friendly recipes on bonappetit.com every year. Christina has been at BA since 2014, with a short stint from 2017-2018 when she worked as a line cook for chef Suzanne Cupps at (the now-closed) Untitled at the Whitney Museum of American Art. At BA, Christina has done a bit of everything: She’s written and edited magazine features, hosted videos on the BA YouTube channel, been a frequent guest on the podcast, and co-produced a 500+ person live podcast event. She writes a monthly newsletter for BA that often explores her relationship to food and wellness. When she's not working, she’s riding all around NYC on her bike, experimenting with sourdough, or arms-deep in the season’s best produce at the greenmarket.
