With a background in journalism and library studies, Becky Libourel Diamond has had a varied career combining writing and research. Ms. Diamond's second book, The Thousand Dollar Dinner, tells the unique story of a 19th century "Top Chef"-style competition between Philadelphia restauranteur James Parkinson and the Delmonico family of NY. The result was a luxurious 17-course feast that helped launch fine restaurant dining in America as we know it today. She is also the author of Mrs. Goodfellow: The Story of America's First Cooking School.
Her current projects include Pierre Blot: America's First Celebrity Chef and The Restauranteur, about Oscar Tucci's role in revitalizing Delmonico's restaurant, with co-author Max Tucci.
