Meet Emily

Hi there! I’m Emily just a girl who fell head over heels for food and never looked back. I’m 32, born and raised in North Carolina, and these days I call a cozy little home in the Blue Ridge Mountains my culinary playground. If you ever hear a smoke alarm in the background of my videos, don’t worry it’s just part of the process.

My journey into the kitchen wasn’t glamorous. I didn’t go to culinary school or grow up with a grandma who taught me secret family recipes (though I really wish I had). What I did have was a beat-up copy of a Southern cookbook from a thrift store, a lot of curiosity, and an unreasonable obsession with Food Network when I was supposed to be studying for finals.
