Ali Domrongchai

A Southern-raised, Brooklyn-based food writer, I grew up around my family's Thai restaurant that sparked my initial love for food. (Fun fact: my grandparents briefly ran a Thai grocery store in the 70s). In this space, my curiosity on the role that food plays in building community lead me to pursue a Bachelor’s of Arts in American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with a focus on the ways in which pad Thai affects the Thai American experience.

Prior to my current position as Associate Editor for Groceries at The Kitchn, I held staff positions at Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure, and Allrecipes. My words and recipes have also been featured in Cook's Country, Simply Recipes, and EatingWell. Oh, and most importantly, I can’t go more than a few hours without a sweet treat.
