Hi! I'm Diana, a passionate home cook located in the vibrant heart of Queens, a melting pot of global cuisines. With a culinary journey rooted in my upbringing within my parents' Chinese Peruvian restaurant in Lima, Peru, I have cultivated several years of experience in the art of gastronomy. My culinary philosophy revolves around the belief that food is a medium to spread joy and foster hospitality. Infused with my diverse cultural background and an exploration of recipes from around the world, my creations are a vibrant reflection of my personality. I am always eager for opportunities to learn and adapt, consistently seeking new inspirations to elevate my culinary expertise. Outside the kitchen, I channel my creativity into my role as a 9-5 Product Designer in a tech company. This dual passion allows me to bring a unique and innovative perspective to both my professional and culinary pursuits. I'm currently looking for part time gigs to expand my experience.
