CHEF CALLISTA MEI-MILLER LOS ANGELES, CA

Callista Mei-Miller's food experience has always been unique. Inspired by the plethora of incredible cultures in her hometown of Los Angeles and the duality of her Chinese and Italian upbringing. She quickly understood that food is an unspoken universal language; a genuine way to immerse oneself and connect with others. 

Callista changed careers shortly after college to pursue her passion of cooking. Completely self taught, her natural talent proved worthy when she landed her first culinary industry job next to Nancy Silverton & Dahlia Navarez of Osteria Mozza. 

In a relatively short amount of time, she has worn many hats; ranging from pastry chef, food stylist, culinary producer, media host, private chef and content creator. Her adaptable skills and experience in both the culinary and production worlds has given her a unique advantage to take on any project confidently. 

Callista has been featured in publications such as Voyage LA, Shoutout LA, Buzzfeed and Thrillist. Has worked for national brands like  Top Chef, Target, Honest Co. and Coffee Bean. She also placed runner up on Food Network's Chopped Sweets and created & hosts the dessert based web series: 

Six Sweet Under: Desserts To Die For. 

Callista is currently penning her first cook book under the same title.
