Natasha Pickowicz

Natasha Pickowicz is an 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, for whom she produced a massive city-wide bake sale, raising over $150,000 between 2017-2019. 

Currently, Natasha runs the pastry pop-up called Never Ending Taste, which has been held at NYC’s Superiority Burger, Brooklyn’s The Four Horsemen, the American-Vietnamese bakery Bạn Bè, the Taiwanese tea room Té Company, LA’s Kismet, and the legendary Japanese Chino Farms in San Diego. 

Natasha’s recipes and writing have been published in the New York Times, Vanity Fair, Wall Street Journal, Bon Appetit, Saveur, Food and Wine, New York Magazine, Cherry Bombe, and many other publications. 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.
