About Diane

With a degree in Food & Nutrition and years of hands-on experience, food has always been at the heart of what I do. I’ve spent many years catering weddings and special events, helping clients celebrate life’s biggest moments with beautifully presented food.

I’m proud to be a food judge at the Iowa State Fair, where I evaluate flavor, creativity, and presentation, and I also serve as a Pampered Chef Director, blending my love of entertaining with trusted culinary expertise.

From intimate gatherings to large celebrations, each charcuterie board is thoughtfully designed using high-quality ingredients and an eye for detail—because great food should look just as amazing as it tastes.

What people are saying

“The Charcuterie tray, made by All Aboard Charcuterie by Diane, for our business was wonderful! It contained a little something for everyone and added an element of flare to our meeting. Several of the attendees made comments about it and wished to learn more for their events. It was a flavorful success!”
