About Emily:
Emily is a Houston-based, Manhattan-trained plant-forward chef. She is known for taking regular dishes and transforming them into creative yet simple eats where the vegetable is the star. At just 22, she was handpicked to compete on Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen with Gordon Ramsay and finished as a top 7 finalist.
Cooking means more to Emily than just creating. She discovered her love of cooking through recovering from an eating disorder. Through plant-based cooking, she understood that food is something that can be used to help others thrive holistically. After graduating from The University of Texas at Austin with a community health and wellness specialization, Emily attended The Natural Gourmet Institute NYC.
Emily has experience in restaurants, food media, recipe development, and hosting. She has been mentored by culinary experts such as Gordon Ramsay, Amanda Cohen, Michelin Star Chef Owner of Dirt Candy and Iron Chef Canada, and Jason Dady, successful restaurateur and chef featured on Iron Chef America.
Emily has a YouTube Series called "The Self-Help Chef". Emily and her guests, both friends and experts in the health and wellness field, talk candidly and openly about everything health and wellness while cooking a plant-based dish. Some of the dishes they have cooked include Creamy Gnocchi in Vodka Sauce, Mini Hand Rolls, and Indian Curry with a Fragrant Homemade Curry Paste.
