I’m a food and culture writer
from New York.

From the Desk of Alicia Kennedy, my weekly newsletter on food culture, media, and politics, has been mentioned by the New York Times, Vogue, T: The New York Times Style Magazine, New York Magazine, and more. It has over 30,000 subscribers.

My work has recently appeared in Harper’s Bazaar, Vox, and Bon Appétit. An essay I wrote for MOLD was selected by Mark Bittman for inclusion in Best American Food Writing 2023; past editions have featured my work in the “notable” section.

Beacon Press published my first book, No Meat Required: The Cultural History and Culinary Future of Plant-Based Eating. Col and Col, a Spanish publisher, has released Desde mi escritorio, a collection of my essays in translation. On Eating: The Making and Unmaking of My Appetites is forthcoming from Hachette Books.

My literary agent is Jenny Stephens at Sterling Lord Literistic.
