About Emy
I’m Emy, a content creator by day and a keen foodie by night. Along with help from my partner Matt Sanders, we founded realfoodie in 2016 after I won the Devon Life Home Cook of the Year co
mpetition. Winning the competition elevated my cooking confidence, it’s one thing to have your friends and family say your cooking is great… but when Michelin star chefs not only eat your food, but say it tastes good… well what can I say, it was an amazing experience! Through realfoodie, my aim is to inspire you to produce delicious food at home using everyday ingredients. There will be the occasional foodie find and tips on how to elevate the everyday dinner to the ultimate dinner party dish. The recipes that influence me and meals I create are inspired by the things I like to eat and the ingredients that are in our cupboard that week. I’m a real savoury cook at heart and I love to experiment with different flavours and ingredients as I go along – this is real food cooked at home in my own kitchen, and yes i use butter…sometimes even cream! About Matt
Matt handles all things technical, the realfoodie website is currently being developed by him. He’s also the baker in our home, so some of the more constrained recipes will be borrowed from him (think pizza dough, focaccia…). Plus he has the role of first-taster, providing that all import constructive criticism to support the development of my recipes!
“Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colours, there are only so many flavours – it's how you combine them that sets you apart”
