Diane’s passion for cooking and writing inspired her to open Diane Cooks, Inc., a private chef and boutique catering company, and to write 3 collections of food-themed short stories, The Genius of Hunger, The Plated Heart, and Party Girls, all featuring characters who are chefs, waiters, caterers, grocery shoppers, home cooks, and people throwing parties.
Experience
After 15 years of owning and operating Diane Cooks, Inc. in Miami Beach, FL, Diane relocated to Phoenix, AZ, where she transferred her love for cooking and writing into food blogging. While retired from being a full-time private chef and caterer, she still does some professional cooking, including a monthly food event for the residents in her apartment building and catered dinners and events for a few special clients.
