About

Hi there! I’m Emilia Hart, a 27-year-old chef living in the lively city of Austin, Texas. Growing up, I was always drawn to the kitchen—there was something magical about transforming simple ingredients into dishes that could make people smile. My earliest memories are of helping my mom knead bread dough while the aroma of fresh herbs filled the air, and of sneaking tastes of her homemade salsa before anyone else could. Those moments sparked a lifelong love for cooking that has shaped everything I do today.

I didn’t start in a professional kitchen right away. For years, I experimented in my own apartment, testing flavors, improvising with what I had on hand, and occasionally creating total disasters that my friends kindly pretended to enjoy. Those playful experiments became my foundation, and eventually led me to formal culinary training. Today, I approach every dish with the same curiosity and joy, always eager to explore bold flavor combinations, reinvent classics, and push my own boundaries.

What I love most about cooking is the connection it creates. Sharing a meal, teaching someone a new technique, or hearing how a dish brought joy to someone’s day—that’s why I do what I do. I believe food should be approachable, adventurous, and made with heart. Whether I’m crafting a smoky barbecue masterpiece or a delicate dessert, I hope to inspire others to dive into the kitchen and explore their own culinary creativity.

Cooking isn’t just my profession—it’s my passion, my way of sharing love, and my favorite form of storytelling. I can’t wait to share my journey and recipes with you.

I’m not on this journey alone—two amazing people help me bring it all to life. From capturing the perfect food photos to lending a hand in the kitchen and keeping our community connected on social media, they make sure every detail shines. Their support allows me to focus on creating recipes with heart while we share them in the most inspiring way possible
