Hi, I’m Dianna.
After more than 15 years in restaurant kitchens, I’ve learned plenty of techniques worth bringing home and that cooking doesn’t need to be complicated to be really good.
Here at Ladle and Grain, I share the food I love making at home, from satisfying dinners and homemade breads to something sweet. Along the way, I’ll share what to look for, why a step matters, and where you can make a recipe your own.
I’m glad you’re here, and I hope you find a few recipes you’ll come back to again and again.

It’s Soup Season!
A pot of something good for cooler days.
