The New Yorker ran a series of columns adapted from my debut book, Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America, on its website. You can read these excerpts below. The Atlantic also published an excerpt from the book on the day of publication, while Mother Jones ran an original essay adapted from my book in its January/February 2022 print issue. I also wrote an original essay on Elena Zelayeta for The New York Times in 2023 drawn from the reporting and research I did for my chapter on her in Taste Makers.
