Epicurious Has New Opening For Associate Food Editor

Epicurious Is Seeking An Associate Food Editor

Epicurious develops new, original recipe content each month, in addition to maintaining an archive of tens of thousands of recipes from Gourmet, Bon Appétit, and cookbooks. The Epicurious Associate Food Editor is responsible for overseeing all new recipe creation, while also working across platforms to generate social and video content to highlight new work. They will also assist the work of the Food department by cross-testing recipes to ensure accuracy before publication.

Epicurious’s recipe content is completely interwoven with the editorial mission of Epicurious, and is reflected in the perspectives of our editors, photo, and art teams. They rely on staff to generate recipe and story ideas, and the Associate Food Editor will be integral to both pitching and helping to bring those recipes to life. The food and editorial teams of Epicurious and Bon Appetit work closely together and, as needed, work may extend across both brands.

Develop original recipe content for Epicurious
