Cooking with curiosity, creativity, and endless learning.

Cooking is my creative outlet. I am a chef who is always hungry to learn and cook more. I continually explore, evolve, and celebrate the beauty of whole, seasonal ingredients. I believe cooking should be about more than just serving a meal; it’s about sharing one. My approach is rooted in balance, simplicity, and quality, elevating everyday meals into memorable experiences.

Emily is a creative chef specializing in nutrition-forward, and health-conscious cuisine. Since 2022, she has served private families as a contracted personal chef, offering in-home meal preparation, plated dinners, and culinary experiences for events and gatherings. Her cooking is deeply rooted in the vibrant traditions of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, showcasing farm-to-table ingredients, artisanal products, and thoughtfully balanced menus that support both wellness and enjoyment. With a passion for seasonal cooking and global inspiration, Emily artfully blends classic techniques with inventive flavors to create highly personalized meals. Whether accommodating specific dietary needs or designing a special occasion menu, she brings care, precision, and a commitment to quality that make each meal both nourishing and unforgettable.

“We just booked Emily for a home date night and it was such a great experience. She was polite, quiet, and very respectful while preparing everything, which made the evening feel relaxed and special. The food itself was incredible... honestly restaurant quality, if not better! You can really tell how passionate she is about what she does because it came through in every bite. Highly recommend!!”
