Megan Zhang

Megan Zhang is a food journalist and recipe developer. Her first book, Eating With The Sun, is a memoir of exploring her heritage through the 24 solar terms of the Chinese lunisolar calendar.

Megan has reported for The Cut, BBC, Bon Appetit, and Conde Nast Traveler, among other publications. Her low-effort, high-reward recipes have been featured in outlets such as Serious Eats, Food52, and Kitchn. Megan is also a former senior editor of Saveur and America's Test Kitchen. Previously, she relocated to China to write and host the TV docuseries Travelogue: Exploring Hidden China.

Megan has lived in New York, Hong Kong, and Beijing and backpacked through more than 30 countries. Her travels and heritage inspire many of her recipes, and her favorite dishes tend to be fudgy, funky, or fermented. When she isn't writing or cooking, you'll possibly find her nibbling bitter chocolate, hiking somewhere with ocean views, or hunting for a treasure to add to her small but growing collection of tiny spoons.
