Priya has been a food and kitchen-equipment writer since 2019, with previous bylines at regional food magazines and a recipe-development site. She specializes in pulling signal out of the noise — comparing professional test-kitchen reviews against thousands of verified owner reports to identify the kitchen tools that consistently perform without needing replacement every two years.
At AO Picks, Priya leads research on cookware, small appliances, coffee gear, and baking equipment. She holds a B.A. in Communications from UCLA and trained briefly at a culinary school in San Francisco, where she now lives.

Editorial Approach
Priya follows the AO Picks editorial process described on our About page. Recommendations are research-driven, drawing on verified buyer reviews, expert coverage, manufacturer specifications, and long-term ownership data — never on personal hands-on testing of every product covered. Affiliate relationships do not influence which products are recommended.
