Recipe Production Assistant, Bon Appétit & Epicurious Job at Conde Nast
Bon Appétit is the award-winning No. 1 food brand dedicated to inspiring home cooks and restaurant obsessives alike. In recent years, it’s redefined the food media landscape with its bold imagery, charismatic voice, and an eye toward trends and current events. From personality-driven cooking shows to in-depth reporting on this cultural moment, Bon Appétit gets to the heart of what it means to care about food today. The brand produces a monthly print magazine, three websites (Bon Appétit, Healthyish, and Basically), near-daily videos, a weekly podcast, a successful merch store, and frequent events. Bon Appétit reaches over 40M consumers monthly, including 21M digitally, 15M across social platforms, and a total of 6.5M in print. Epicurious is the definitive guide to home cooking. With 25 years of editorial content and over 35,000 recipes in its archive, Epicurious offers an unparalleled depth and breadth of cooking resources. In 2019, Epicurious launched Well Equipped, a vertical and newsletter dedicated to shopping content for food lovers. That content, which ranges from a love letter to tinned fish to rigorously-tested reviews of cast-iron skillets and blenders, made Epi among the top revenue-driving commerce brands in the company. This year, Epicurious has responded to our current cooking moment by focusing on sustainability and affordability. The brand reaches 10 million monthly viewers on its site, 4.7 across social platforms, and 2.7 million on its YouTube channel, which saw the most significant growth of any Conde Nast channel in 2019.
