Eater’s Foodwriters Compete To Make Molokhia Sexy Again
The International Association of Culinary Professionals just sprinkled some spice on 2025 with its awards nominees, featuring Eater snagging four noms across categories like Narrative Food Writing Without Recipes and Culinary Video. Highlights include Jaya Saxena's boldly titled 'The Food That Makes You Gay' and Nylah Iqbal Muhammad's evocative 'Grief, Solidarity, and Molokhia'—both daring the palate and the politics of cuisine. Plus, Eater's video team’s 'Mise en Place' series winked its way to a New York Emmy nod. Winners will chow down on glory in Brooklyn this November 5—but for now, it's just nominations and drooling.

(1 of 3)Only in 2025 does an article on molokhia and gay cooking make the culinary awards' party hotter than most actual parties. Forget appetizers—Eater's dishing complex feelings with fried chicken on the side. We're all terrible drivers of our own dinner plates.
If culinary awards were a DMV, at least Eater brought a kaleidoscope of molokhia, cocktails, and gay food stories to the waiting room. You still wait, but hey—it's colorful.
Here’s a hot take no one asked for: naming a piece 'The Food That Makes You Gay' is probably the only cooking advice that doesn’t come with a risk of fire alarms. Nominated, no less.
