Food is my passion. As are people! And I love the challenge of creating a bespoke menu for everyone for whom I cook, whether they require something simple and comforting or impressive and indulgent.

If you are planning an intimate elopement, a blow-out family holiday, a shoot, or a party celebration, I would be delighted to work with you.

Using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, I will create a menu for a feast befitting your occasion- and giving you what you would most like to eat!

I travel all over the county to cook for clients, established and new. My style is eclectic- I love to use Mediterranean and Levantine flavours, but always strive to keep things simple and showcase the wonderful Scottish ( and British!) produce.

Emily provided our small group with a fantastic feast!

Easy to engage with, helpful and fitted straight in with the relaxed nature of our trip.

Emily provided a super menu of local, in season produce, and we thoroughly enjoyed her company as well as her food.

Emily came to cook for our large, noisy family for a week. We all loved her food, wonderful flavours and unusual combinations.

Her picnics will transform our future picnics - they were simply delicious.

From cakes to main courses, her food was excellent.

She was also very accommodating to all our needs from toddlers to oldies and we all loved her!

Emily is a wonderful cook and a very nice person as well. She has a huge and brilliant repertoire of different menus and is incredibly obliging and helpful in organising the catering.

Her food is delicious and you will not be disappointed.

Thank you for looking after us so well the whole week!

Emily was so passionate about making sure we had everything we wanted they day of the event. She wanted to make sure we were all well fed throughout the day not just for the elopement supper. She made sure all our favourite foods were on the menu in some way, shape or form. She really put together a fantastic menu.

The food was all bought fresh and it really was the best meal of our whole trip to Scotland. We went to a few Michelin starred restaurants and the meal that Emily made for us blew all that out of the water. We really wish we lived closer so we could book Emily for any and every event.

Emily is just amazing. She made sure we were all fed and well stocked on wine the whole night. We got more than a chef that night when we booked Emily, she felt like family and I wish we could have booked her for our whole trip... or took her home to Canada with us. I would not hesitate to book Emily for any catering need, everything tasted amazing and was timed perfectly.

Emily brings her zest for life and great personality to her cooking. With her vast repertoire of dishes she continues to amaze with her skills. Not only does her food taste amazing it is always beautifully presented. Nothing phases her. Changes of numbers, times and dietary requirements are dealt with easily and with a smile. A pleasure to have in the house, I could not recommend her more highly. Long may she continue to cook for us.

Emily cooks the most delicious food – imaginative, sensitive to any allergies or dislikes and beautifully presented. She copes with patience and good humour with our entirely chaotic household, where she is having to deal with dogs and people under her feet in the kitchen. We can’t wait for her to come back!

We had Emily to cook for us for a shooting party over a long weekend and we couldn’t have asked for better.

Firstly, Emily has an easy going and fun character which makes all the difference when you welcome someone into your home. She is easy going and isn’t afraid of any slight changes in plans with regards to timings etc. Emily can cater for all dietary requirements, if possible, which is also really helpful.

Secondly, Emily’s menu suggestions and recipe inventory is vast with plenty of different styles and flavours of food that fills food lovers with excitement. Her can-do attitude is a pleasure to deal with when selecting and deciding upon a menu.

Thirdly, the food produced couldn’t be faulted at any point, it was delicious! Leaving everyone well fed and not feeling too overindulgent. Over the weekend, everyone kept talking about how impressive the food has been, which is testament to her extensive skills. Emily is also a master baker and can put her talents to the most challenging cakes and sweet treats.

The most memorable meals include; Bouillabaisse, Slow cooked pork shoulder, confit pheasant legs and a Basque cheesecake.
