A Northern Virginia native and the creator of The Dana Renée Way. I am a New York attorney by day (and night if we are being honest) and, in my sporadic spare time, a devoted home cook and foodie with a serious weakness for comfort food, classic recipes and fresh coconuts.
In 2015, I started this website as a food diary simple sharing the things I cooked but it has grown into so much more. I love experimenting with ingredients and cooking techniques and creating unique flavors while still enjoying classic dishes. Here is where you will find my recipes and stories from my childhood memories to stints of living in France and travelling to countries I had only once dreamed of. Cooking is how I document these experiences and my love language is sharing them with you: From my kitchen to yours.
