I cook in your kitchen or bring the magic to your space, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy.

Meet GiGi—
The HEART BEHIND
UMAMI MAMI CATERING
GiGi brings flavor from life on the road — cooking on boats, at retreats, and even at Burning Man — always rooted in seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. From pho-fueled nights in New York to weddings on the West Coast, her style is built on flavor, freedom, and soul. She blends Vietnamese comfort with Southern warmth, but her true specialty is creating food that fits the moment — and the people it’s for.
She’s cooked for lovers, strangers, artists, CEOs, and best friends. No matter the setting, GiGi shows up with heart, hustle, and flavor that speaks for itself.
