I'm Diana Perez

Formerly an Associate Food Editor at Food & Wine  and an experienced research contributor to Modernist Pizza by Modernist Cuisine. I'm a writer with a passion for telling stories on the intersection of food and culture.

Everyone has a story to tell, and food is the lingua franca. 

I'm a native New Yorker of Mexican heritage with extensive experience working across the media landscape, primarily in the culinary field. After graduating from Syracuse University (cum laude), I worked in fashion photography production before enrolling at The French Culinary Institute and the Italian Culinary Academy in New York. I also attended ALMA Scuola Internazionale di Cucina Italiana in Colorno, Italy, and staged at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Throughout my career, I've worked as a cook, culinary producer, editor, researcher, food stylist and educator. Click the button below to get in touch.
