Diana Desensi is an incredible chef and a lovely person. I have heard her name so often from other chefs I have spoken to who hold her in high esteem, and it was so refreshing to sit down with her and hear how highly she regards the chefs that she has worked for and is now working for. Diana lived and breathed food and fostered a love for cooking from an early age, growing up with a Nonno and a Nonna who she watched and emulated and it is all she has ever wanted to do. I just finished watching Season 3 of The Bear and I know there are mixed reviews, but episode 10 where the chefs all sit around and talk about their experiences, the highs and the lows and you feel that passion, I loved it. And I got exactly the same thrill I got from watching that when I talked to Diana. She was so generous and articulate in what she shared about her own journey and the industry now and I loved every minute of it. I love every conversation I get to have with chefs, but this was a particularly special one.
