Emily Scott is an award winning Chef & Food Writer.
Emily believes the simplest food is the most memorable, a handful of beautiful ingredients, a moment worth savouring and a table shared. Her cooking is shaped by where life takes her: The Cayman Islands, where sunshine brings brightness to every dish. Cornwall, where the sea calls you home; Bordeaux, where produce sings with the season; for high days and holidays.
Through her books and weekly writing on Substack Shore to Shore, her Kitchen Journal. Emily shares recipes that come with a story, dishes that celebrate connection, comfort and pleasure in her everyday.
Her career has taken many forms: classically trained chef, restaurant owner, and cook book author. But at the heart of everything is a love for honest cooking that brings people together.
Between the kitchens and places she loves most, writing wherever she finds a quiet moment and something delicious to capture on the page.
A cook's note
“A sense of place and being.
I love nothing more than bringing people together around a table.
For food, wine and conversation.
The table comes first.”
