Isa Chandra Moskowitz
Isa Chandra Moskowitz is an American vegan chef, cookbook author, former host of the vegan community access cooking show Post Punk Kitchen, and former restaurateur.
Moskowitz was raised in Brooklyn, New York. She majored in fine art at the High School of Music & Art, but eventually dropped out. She became involved with the punk rock scene of the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the late 1980s. During this time, she became a vegetarian, then later turned to veganism. She also volunteered with Food Not Bombs.
The Post Punk Kitchen began as a vegan cooking show that aired on Brooklyn and Manhattan public-access television cable TV from 2003 to 2004, and later became a recipe website.
The success of The Post Punk Kitchen led her to become a cookbook author, beginning in 2005 with her first cookbook Vegan with a Vengeance.
For over a decade, Moskowitz ran an independent restaurant chain, Modern Love (2014-2025). Her first restaurant opened in Omaha, Nebraska in 2014 and closed in 2024. A second location opened in Brooklyn in 2016 and closed in 2025.
Moskowitz is a vocal opponent of "humane meat", promoting animal rights through what she calls "Culinary Activism" or "Baketivism":
After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Moskowitz posted on her blog a call for vegans to host bake sales in their home cities to fundraise for relief which resulted in over $75,000 being raised.
In 2023, Tasting Table named Moskowitz as one of the “21 Plant-Based Chefs You Need To Know,” and VegNews listed her as one of the "37 Creative Chefs Crafting the Future of Vegan Food."
