Sonia Chopra head shot - Epicurious

Sonia Chopra

Executive Editor, Bon Appétit and Epicurious

Sonia Chopra oversees the editorial teams at Epicurious and Bon Appétit in her role as executive editor. Previously, she worked at Eater in a variety of roles, including managing editor, director of editorial strategy, and co-executive producer of the publication’s first broadcast television show, No Passport Required, which highlighted immigrant and diasporic food in America. She frequently serves as a moderator on panels, as a judge for journalism and food media awards, and as a source (to her friends) for the best coffee shops and bookstores in Brooklyn. When she’s not writing about the recipes that save time in the kitchen, she’s reading, traveling, or trying to figure out what’s going on with her plants.

This version of aam panna, the ultra-refreshing summer drink, swaps green mangoes for a classic pantry staple: jarred applesauce (yes, really).

Tadka Pasta

Fried urad dal + spices+ pasta + parm = rich and nutty tadka pasta you can conjure up in less than 30 minutes.

Orange Peel Chai

Rather than tossing your orange peels, add a few to a batch of warming chai for a soothing sick-day (or any-day) beverage.
