About Sohla El-Waylly
Some of you may know me from my work at the New York Times, the History Channel, HBO Max’s The Big Brunch, or maybe we just ran into each other at the Union Square green market!
If you don’t know much about me…
I’m originally from LA (don’t hold it against me) and now live in Manhattan for almost 15 years. I started cooking in my mom’s kitchen, then had a stint in probably every chain restaurant you know and love, before deciding to get all oui cheffy at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. That led me to work at fine dining restaurants throughout the city, such as Del Posto, Atera, and Battersby. (Ask me about my foams… j/k)
I worked as a line cook, prep cook, server, chef, and pastry chef before owning and operating a restaurant in Brooklyn with my (also chef) hubby. After the restaurant closed, I switched to food media.
