Aliza J. Sokolow is an Emmy Award–winning food stylist, author, chef, and media personality who believes that food has the power to connect us all. Her work seamlessly blends culinary creativity with storytelling that makes a difference — whether she's styling a gorgeous plate for a photoshoot, teaching kids about healthy eating, or sharing vibrant recipes on Good Day LA. Her debut children's book, This Is What I Eat (Random House Kids, 2023), encourages young readers to explore and enjoy nutritious food in a joyful, colorful, and accessible way.
Aliza's career took off on Jamie Oliver's groundbreaking Food Revolution, where her work as a food stylist helped the show earn an Emmy Award, two additional nominations, and a James Beard Media Award. Since then, her culinary and visual storytelling has been featured in The New York Times, Bon Appétit, Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, and The Los Angeles Times, and she's appeared on ABC, CBS, KCRW's Good Food, and more.
Beyond the kitchen, Aliza is passionate about service and community building. She sits on the boards of the UC Berkeley Food Institute and Our Big Kitchen LA, and regularly organizes volunteer events that nourish the community and support food access. Her deep-rooted love for food and its power to bring people together began at Camp Alonim, where she first discovered the joy of cooking and the transformative potential of shared meals.
Special thanks to the Anthony Pritzker Family Foundation for underwriting the series as a loving tribute to Tony’s late mother, Susan S. Pritzker. The goal of the Pritzker series is to feature dynamic and educational presentations by top professionals, appealing to women of all stages of life.
