Experience

Ashia has spent recent years developing recipes and stories for projects across print, digital and podcast formats. Before she became a food writer, Ashia held other roles in the food system, working on various food justice initiatives, culinary startups and food-tech companies. As a result, her writing tends to unearth underrepresented narratives within food, travel and culture. In addition to Taste of Home, her writing has appeared in Eater, Food & Wine, America's Test Kitchen, Food52 and more. She loves spending time in Vermont, hiking and foraging for mushrooms.
