Diana Pérez
Food Writer | Editor | Researcher

I write about food, culture, and the layered histories that linger long after the meal. My work blends deep research with sharp storytelling, often tracing the movement of ingredients, ideas, and people across time and place.

​

With nearly two decades in culinary media, I’ve worked across print, digital, and television. I’ve been an associate food editor at Food & Wine, a researcher for Modernist Pizza, a stylist for The Sullivan Street Bakery Cookbook, and a culinary producer for Lidia’s Italy on PBS.

​ This site is both my portfolio and my digital table—a space to showcase my professional work and share original essays on food, memory, and meaning. My blog, D Is For Diana, is my one-woman magazine—a cabinet of curiosities where food, history, and culture collide. I publish essays and commentary in English and Spanish, exploring the layered stories behind what we eat, drink, and remember.
