In the past couple of weeks, Bon Appétit has parted ways with editor in chief Adam Rapoport after photos of him in brownface surfaced, lost two Black editorial staffers, and had six employees who fronted the beloved Test Kitchen video series quit due to allegations of pay inequity and rampant systemic racism at the culinary magazine.

After the series of controversies, the 64-year-old Condé Nast publication has begun to take steps in the right direction with the appointments of Sonia Chopra as Bon Appétit’s new executive editor and world-renowned chef and author Marcus Samuelsson, who will guest edit the 2020 holiday issue and act as an ongoing content adviser.
