Today we’d like to introduce you to Diana H. Briscoe.
Hi Diana, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Chef Diana H. Briscoe
– Holistic Healing Focused Chef, Educator, and Culinary Wellness Specialist.
Chef Diana H. Briscoe’s culinary journey began in her native Colombia, where she was raised among powerful women chefs and mystic shamans who treated food as both nourishment and ritual. From a young age, she was immersed in the traditions of holistic cooking—learning to honor ingredients from farm to table and to cook with intention, love, and cultural reverence.
Now a highly regarded culinary artist in Los Angeles, Chef Diana is known for her expertise in holistic wellness cuisine. She has built a stellar career working with some of the city’s most renowned restaurants, including the celebrated Gracias Madre, and has curated menus for Soho House, Cut by Wolfgang Puck, Tender Greens, and others.
Chef Diana specializes in creating inclusive, healing meals that support a wide range of dietary needs—from gluten-free, low-inflammatory, and allergen-conscious to high-protein and nutrient-dense healing plans. Her culinary philosophy embraces the power of food as medicine, blending ancient wisdom with modern nutrition science.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
“As a Latina chef, it was incredibly challenging to grow in this male-dominated industry at that time, especially as a woman and a single mother. Being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease added another layer of difficulty, both personally and professionally. But those experiences gave me resilience and a thick skin to navigate even the toughest situations in life. Today, I use everything I’ve learned—not just in the kitchen but through life itself—to help others heal and thrive through food as a holistic chef.
