Chef Mimi Lan is a private and popup dinner chef who is based in Florida but travels around the country to curate thoughtful dining experiences through her popup & private dinners, food festivals & conferences, cooking classes and speaking engagements. Chef Mimi’s cooking is about creating innovation while honoring the traditional recipes of the past, with her own unique twists. She credits her staging journey with Michelin starred restaurants NYC, Bangkok, and Shanghai for taking her cooking to the next level. Chef Mimi works with local farmers (vegetables, mushrooms, beekeepers, purveyors, etc) to source fresh, seasonal, premium ingredients, and use cooking methods that are healthier and reduce waste. Chef Mimi is passionate about using her food to connect with people, bridge the gap of understanding between cultures, elevate Vietnamese cuisine to the global respect that it deserves, advocate for gender equality in the kitchen, and empowering women in culinary.
