About

Hello, hello & welcome!!! Καλώς Ήλθατε!

Hi everyone! My name is Diana, and I’m the heart behind Diana is Cooking.

I grew up in New York City in a Greek household, where we lived alongside our grandparents—our beloved yiayia and pappou. It was there, in a home filled with love, laughter, and incredible aromas, that I experienced the magic of cooking firsthand, often watching them prepare meals together.

Our Greek roots hail from the stunning Ionian island of Kefalonia—where crystal-clear waters meet sun-drenched hills, and generations of family recipes and traditions were lovingly passed down. That heritage is deeply woven into my culinary identity and continues to inspire everything I create.

Today, I share the traditional Greek dishes we grew up eating, along with recipes inspired by my life, travels, and creativity in the kitchen. Through my platform, I collaborate with brands, develop recipes, and bring beautiful, approachable cooking to your home.

My hope is that you feel inspired, confident, and connected as you explore these recipes—bringing a little bit of warmth, flavor, and Greek tradition into your own kitchen.

Kindly,

Diana

She was magical in the kitchen!
My grandparents, Dionisios & Anneta Georgopoulos, newlyweds. Weren’t they absolutely beautiful? They were true partners in their marriage and an important example of true love for all of us. He wrote poetry for her, until he passed away, three years after her.

I dedicate this blog to their memories.
