Journalist Ella Quittner On Freelancing & Food Media

Today’s guest is Ella Quittner, a journalist making a name for herself in food media with articles like “I Love You, but I Hate Your Cooking” in The New York Times and “The Bizarre Allure of Sexy Cakes” in New York Magazine. Before she started her freelance career and writing for prominent media outlets, Ella spent years working in finance. Host Abena Anim-Somuah chats with Ella about how she made that jump, what draws her to writing about culture, and how she identifies the trends that she covers. Ella also talks about her forthcoming cookbook and shares her observations on the state of food media today. 

Don’t miss Ella’s voicemail to her future self.
