Welcome to a celebration of Diane Mankey’s life, love, and legacy through the art of cooking. This site is dedicated to preserving the cherished recipes of a woman whose passion for food brought people together, created lifelong memories, and inspired joy around every table.

Diane’s cooking was more than just meals—it was her way of expressing love and nurturing those she cared about. Each recipe you’ll find here carries her unique touch, a story, and a connection to her vibrant spirit. Whether it was her signature dish that everyone requested or her experimenting with a twist on a classic, her food was always a reflection of her warmth and generosity.

These recipes are her personal collection, some originals, but some from her favorite cookbooks and many from friends and family. By sharing her recipes, we aim to honor her memory and ensure her culinary legacy lives on. Whether you’re recreating an old favorite or discovering something new, we hope these recipes bring the same love and comfort to your home that they did to hers.
