Priya Krishna Biography
Priya Krishna is an Indian-American food journalist, video host, and New York Times bestselling author known for her contributions to food media. As a food reporter, video host, and former restaurant critic at the New York Times, Krishna is the author of several cookbooks, including "Indian-ish" and "Priya's Kitchen Adventures." Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, Eater, and TASTE, where she served as a columnist. Krishna began her career in food while attending Dartmouth College, working as a marketing consultant for Dartmouth Dining Services and writing a food column, experiences that inspired her first cookbook, "Ultimate Dining Hall Hacks."
After college, Krishna joined Lucky Peach, where she worked for three years before transitioning to freelance writing. She later contributed to Bon Appétit and appeared on its YouTube channel. Krishna left the Condé Nast-owned video platform in response to pay inequities for contributors of color, highlighting her advocacy for equity and representation in the food industry. She co-authored the cookbook "Cooking at Home: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Recipes (And Love My Microwave)" with David Chang.
"Indian-ish: Recipes and Antics from a Modern American Family" was recognized as one of the best cookbooks by The New York Times, New York Magazine, Eater, Food & Wine, and Bon Appétit. The book features a foreword by Padma Lakshmi and was co-written with her mother, Ritu Krishna. Two of Krishna's essays for the New York Times were included in editions of "The Best American Food Writing." She has received nominations for a James Beard Award and an IACP award and was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
Krishna has reported on the intersections of food with politics, religion, and sports. She has appeared as a judge on MasterChef and hosts an online series for the New York Times called "On the Job," which examines labor in the food industry. She has spoken at Harvard's Radcliffe Institute, discussing how food writing can illuminate broader issues of culture and representation, and has contributed to the ongoing conversation about diversity in the culinary world.
