I grew up in central India with my Mother's amazing food, with what I love to eat and cook broadening since moving to London. A complete dessert fiend, I am rather partial to cheesecake, but for those with a sweet tooth, you cannot beat Gulab jamun - like little doughnuts with cardamom, steeped in rose and saffron syrup!

Emily has a wide remit when it comes to cooking and baking, but is particularly loving anything with a teriyaki glaze at the moment, after learning from her best friend who has just returned from Japan with lots of culinary inspiration. When it comes to baking, Emily believes the classics can’t be beaten (pun intended) when done well, and maintains that world peace could probably be brought about if there were only enough tea and Victoria Sponge for all.

I grew up in Puglia, Italy, making fresh pasta every day with my grandma (it was often said this was the only thing that would keep me quiet). I moved to London in 2014, have loved discovering new cuisines, and am a recent convert to Indian and Thai cooking. I am passionate both about great cooking, and a bit of a nerd when it comes to the tools that make great cooking easier, often reading up about them at home, when not cooking!
