MiMi Aye
British-born to Burmese parents as a 'third culture kid', MiMi Aye has always moved between two worlds, and she has spent her whole life soaking up Burmese food, language, and culture through endless trips to see family and friends in Myanmar, as well as back in the UK.
A passionate advocate for Burmese cuisine, MiMi’s latest book MANDALAY: Recipes & Tales from a Burmese Kitchen was chosen by the Observer, the Financial Times and the Mail on Sunday as one of their Best Food Books of 2019, and was described by Nigella Lawson as 'a really loving and hungry-making introduction to a fascinating cuisine' and by Tom Parker-Bowles as 'a glorious revelation… autobiography, history and recipes all rolled into one magnificent whole... a brilliant, beguiling book'.
