CHEF NANA WILMOT
Chef Nana Araba Wilmot celebrates the rich foodways of the African Diaspora through a deeply personal and globally resonant lens. As the Chef/Owner of Georgina’s Private Chef and Catering Co. and the Curator of Love That I Knead—a West African-focused dinner series—she crafts experiences that help others “find their way back” through flavor and memory. Trained at the Art Institute of Philadelphia, she honed her skills under culinary giants like Wolfgang Puck, Iron Chef Jose Garces, Stephen Starr, and Chef Daniel Rose at Le Coucou (1 Michelin Star).With work spanning Philadelphia, New York City, and Accra, Ghana, Chef Nana’s cuisine has been featured in Bon Appétit, Forbes, The New York Times, Eater, and Eater NY. She’s appeared on Food Network’s CHOPPED and is featured in Alexander Smalls’ 2024 cookbook The Contemporary African Kitchen.
