Post Punk Kitchen

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.

Restaurants

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.

Activism

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.
