Emily grew up on a diet of fish fingers and spaghetti’s and was very adverse to all "green stuff". Being inspired by a Sainsbury's ad featuring Jamie Oliver at age 6 she found the desire to learn to cook and fell in love with food. After training as a chef she became a bit fed up with how elitist and patriarchal the kitchen could be. She the decided to pursue teaching in order to foster a love of cooking in young people and improve the UK's food culture and has now worked as a food teacher for the last 2 years.

I started washing dishes as a teenager in Cornwall where I grew up, since then I've lived in Bristol and London, working in a range of spots, casual and fine dining. I love the process of transforming basic ingredients into something more, and think it's something everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy.

As an avid sports enthusiast I like to spend my time being active; whether that be doing athletics, playing volleyball or even going for a walk. I joined Eat Club so I could share my knowledge about the food system from my previous work but join members in a social setting to create an environment where we can learn about nutrition and health in a fun, creative way.
