what about us?
Meet Emma, Founder of FoodArtRecipes
Hi, I’m Emma, the chef and storyteller behind FoodArtRecipes. I’m so glad you’re here, where flavors come alive, and the beauty of cooking meets the artistry of food.
Why Food?
For me, cooking is more than just preparing meals – it’s an art form and a love language. Growing up, I was surrounded by kitchens full of the most incredible flavors, and I learned early on that food is a way to connect, celebrate, and share stories.

My Story:
I grew up in a charming, tight-knit community in the heart of Italy/the rolling hills of Napa Valley, where food was the heart of every celebration. From intimate family dinners to lively street markets, food was a way to bring everyone together. My culinary journey started at a young age, watching my family cook and experimenting with new flavors in the kitchen.
At the age of 12, I was already helping my parents in the kitchen, and by 16, I was making my own recipes and cooking for friends. Whether it was preparing a fresh pasta dish or roasting vegetables to perfection, I learned that cooking was more than just about taste; it was about the experience.
Why Food?
For me, food isn’t just about ingredients – it’s about expression. It’s about honoring the craft and the traditions while bringing my own touch to each dish. Growing up in a home where flavors told stories, I learned that every meal has the power to bring people together and create lasting memories.
These lessons shaped my cooking philosophy:
- Respect the ingredients: From farm to table, every step matters.
- Simplicity speaks volumes: Sometimes, the simplest ingredients make the most unforgettable dishes.
- Food connects us: Whether it’s a family gathering or a casual dinner, the best moments happen around a shared meal.
After training at culinary academy, I realized my true passion was blending traditional techniques with modern, approachable recipes. This blog is my way of honoring those roots while inspiring others to cook, create, and make memories.
