Dawn Davis

Dawn Davis is the editor in chief of Bon Appétit and Epicurious. She writes a monthly newsletter for BA, You’ve Got Time for This, and oversees the Dream Dinner Party column in the magazine, for which she interviews notable public figures about what they’d serve at their ideal dinner party. Prior to joining Condé Nast, Davis worked in book publishing. Formerly vice president and publisher of 37 Ink, an imprint of Simon & Schuster she founded, Dawn is an award-winning publisher and storytelling advocate. For over two decades, she championed and elevated underrepresented voices, publishing many of them onto the New York Times Best Seller list. Her interest in food and restaurants also led her to write If You Can Stand the Heat: Tales from Chefs and Restaurateurs, which profiled some of the most dynamic and prolific chefs of the time, including Edna Lewis, Anthony Bourdain, Bobby Flay, Michael McCarty, Patricia Williams, and Linda Rodriguez.
