Testimonials

  • Diavanna catered to my many dietary restrictions and immature palate with deep care and understanding of Whole Foods and how they nourish and restore one’s body. I have never felt healthier or as nourished as I was when she was cooking for me. She took care of me, full body, mind and soul and expanded my knowledge of food and taste. I still dream about her salmon.

  • For a decade, I have annually hired Diavanna to cater an almost impossible party for 150 arts professionals in a tiny Brooklyn apartment, where the guests are inevitably in the middle of the food prep. I’d like to think people come to my party because they like me, but I know that Diavanna's outlandishly good food, spectacular presentation, and joyous energy is the real reason they come.
