Our Founder — Emma
Emma, a celebrated chef with over 20 years of experience, founded Culinary Academy with the goal of sharing her passion for food and teaching the next generation of chefs. Her culinary journey began at a young age, and her diverse career spans top-tier restaurants, cooking shows, and international culinary training. With a deep love for sustainable cooking and a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients, Emma brings a hands-on, practical approach to each course.
Emma’s philosophy goes beyond just learning how to cook; it’s about developing a connection with the food you prepare, understanding its origins, and respecting the ingredients. Through her teaching, she hopes to empower students to not only become better cooks but to also appreciate the art of cooking and the joy of sharing meals with others.
"Cooking is not just about following recipes; it's about creating something magical with your hands, your heart, and the ingredients that surround you."
