Nik Sharma is a molecular biologist turned cookbook author (Season and The Flavor Equation) and food photographer who's been writing for Serious Eats since 2020. Nik left his career in biomedical research behind to pursue a career in cooking, food writing, and photography, in which he uses his background in biochemistry to understand flavor.

Nik writes the recipe newsletter This Is A Cook Letter and the multi-award-winning blog, A Brown Table. Previously he was the food columnist for The San Francisco Chronicle and has contributed regularly to The New York Times, Food52, and The Guardian Feast. 

Nik started out in biomedical research and has graduate degrees in Molecular Genetics (University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine) and Public Policy (Health econometrics/MPP - McCourt School of Public Policy, Georgetown University).
