Nilou Motamed Is Named Editor of Food & Wine Magazine

Former Epicurious EIC replaces Dana Cowin

Food & Wine has officially found its replacement for longtime editor Dana Cowin: lifestyle publishing veteran Nilou Motamed, whose resumé includes more than a decade at sister title Travel & Leisure and a stint as editor in chief of Epicurious. The New York Post reported last month that Motamed was rumored to be the front-runner for the position.

As Food & Wine's new editor, Motamed will help guide the brand's various extensions and franchises, including Best New Chefs, the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, millennial-focused food site FWx and the magazine's ongoing partnership with Bravo's Top Chef.
