Emily Scott is a chef, author and storyteller.
Emily believes the simplest food is the most memorable — a handful of beautiful ingredients, a moment worth savouring, 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 her best-selling Substack Shore to Shore, Emily shares recipes that come with a story — dishes that celebrate connection, comfort and pleasure in the 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.

In the height of the Carribean summer, you’ll find me at the iconic Calypso Grill in the Cayman Islands, as their Executive Consultant Chef, shaping a menu inspired by the sea — unfussy food made for long days and warm nights.
