Dessert enthusiast.

Zoë joined Epicurious in 2017, where she hunts down waffle makers, gathers crunchy peanut butters, and writes stories of all kinds. Also part of the food team at Bon Appétit, she healthily obsesses over favorite ingredients, recipes, and kitchen products.

Relatively fresh to New York, she spends a lot of time wandering the city for the best chocolate cake.
