I'm a food and culture writer and have worked on essays about food, art, architecture and culture for Vittles, The New Yorker, The Baffler, Eater, Taste, ELLE, Art Review, RA Magazine, Vice, The Guardian and more. I've also worked on radio, podcasts and live talks.

 

I'm currently writing a new book – a cultural history of appetite – but am being regularly derailed by seventeenth century pamphleteers, historical feuds, cookbooks in translation, ice cream and the rancorous intricacies of municipal planning. If you want to commission me to write or talk about any of these things or topics yet to be imagined, please get in touch. I particularly welcome enquiries about longform, research, curatorial and archival work. You can reach me at:   rubyatandoh at gmail dot com
