Natasha Pickowicz is a San Diego-born, NYC-based chef and writer and a three-time James Beard Foundation Award finalist.

Much of her pastry work explores the relationship with baking and social justice, including ongoing collaborations with NYC institutions like The Brigid Alliance, Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, God's Love We Deliver, and Planned Parenthood of Greater New York. 

Natasha’s debut cookbook, More Than Cake, which weaves unique baking recipes with stories of her family, social justice, and food history, will be published by Artisan Books in spring 2023.
