Ella Mittas has built her career in food working under Brigitte Hafner, Annie Smithers and Ismail Tosun in Australia, honing her skills in London at NOPI, in Tel Aviv at Romano and in Istanbul at Lokanta Maya. Her recipes have been featured in The Design Files and Broadsheet, and her food writing published in The Saturday Paper. Ella teaches cooking classes, curates and caters food events, and hosts dinners in collaboration with venues across her hometown of Melbourne. Her self-titled project is derived from her name but also comes from a Greek word έλα, meaning come.
