Critics Review

Becky Libourel Diamond
Becky Libourel Diamond has enjoyed a varied career combining culinary research and writing. She has been writing and blogging about food since 2008, parlaying her passion for food and history into the publication of two critically acclaimed books. The Thousand Dollar Dinner was called “a mouthwatering tale of one luxurious 1851 dinner” (Entertainment Weekly), and this “rehearsal dinner for the Gilded Age is engagingly resurrected, deconstructed and served up for modern readers” (The Wall Street Journal). Mrs. Goodfellow: The Story of America’s First Cooking School was declared “a fascinating sociocultural and commercial history” (Publishers Weekly) that is “a delicious exploration of the life and legacy of one of America’s most influential cooks” (Pennsylvania Heritage magazine). Her Delmonico’s-themed cookbook, The Delmonico Way, co-written by Max Tucci, will be published by Rizzoli in fall 2022. She enjoys transforming culinary and historical research into informative, engaging narratives, and has been referred to as “a prudent and careful chronicler of one of the most deliciously over-the-top dinners ever served in America” by The Wall Street Journal.
Diamond serves as the historical-food consultant and food blogger for the Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion, Philadelphia’s only authentically restored Victorian house museum. She specializes in reconstructing historical recipes and frequently gives presentations and food demonstrations. She has also written about food and history for Eaten Magazine, Newtown Lifestyle, Dianne Jacob’s Will Write for Food blog, BookPage, Table Matters: The Journal of Food, Drink and Manners, The Historical Cooking Project, IFIS Food and Health Information, Prose Media and Philadelphia’s Mütter Museum.
Diamond holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Rider University and a Master of Library Science (MLS) degree from Rutgers University.
