Mimi Kozma is a mother, wife, special education teacher and master home chef. Since childhood, she has had an appreciation for and experience with fresh ingredients and the food industry. During her youth she was exposed to her parent’s fantastic cooking styles, other various global cuisines and the dynamics of commercial restaurants and kitchens.
After high school, Mimi began to travel abroad and discovered more foods from around the world. Through trial and error, she began experimenting with recreating meals in her own kitchen. Sometimes a fresh ingredient inspired her to come up with an original recipe.
Needless to say, Mimi’s love of cooking runs deep and was what inspired her to create Food Hero. Through deep soul searching and with the help of her husband, John, Mimi met Mike Schwartz of Hometown Heroes.
