Emily Carter

Emily Carter is a 38 year old married mother living in the rural county of Cornwall, England with her husband, Simon and their two teenage children, Kate and Robbie. Emily has three great passions beyond her family; writing, cooking and traveling.

Emily’s father was Italian and her mother English; meaning that good cuisine was always top of the priority list for her demanding family.

Emily displayed tremendous flare for cooking at a very tender age; she took over most of the cooking responsibilities while barely in her teens. Feeding and satisfying a hungry and critical gourmet family, of seven, was by no means an easy task. A task she relished and in which she excelled.

Unsurprisingly, after studying literature at university, she went on to have a successful early career in catering; halted, but not stifled, by the arrival of her children. She continues to cater for her family and friends on a regular basis.

Emily has an exceptionally engaging and flexible writing style; she is capable of turning her pen to virtually any subject; however, her rewarding and amazing writing attributes are most apparent in her wonderfully informative, and simple to read, cooking recipes.

Emily’s books are a revelation of her talent, a sheer delight; demand is high, and thankfully there are more publications in the pipeline.

Her culinary expertise merge beautifully with her languid easy writing style to make for an articulate treat that is both fun and informative.

Emily has accumulated a vast catalog of unique recipes over many years, from many parts of the world. She has spent a great deal of time traveling, always supported and usually accompanied by her husband.

She has a particular affinity with India and the wonderful diversity of flavors and aromas discovered in their cuisine. Likewise, she has spent some time in Pakistan sampling and experimenting with a whole range of simple and often exotic ingredients.

As she says ‘I have itchy feet and a compulsive urge to travel, to discover and to write more and more about a topic dear to all our hearts … food!’.

Her recipes are original works of cuisine with a nod of appreciation to many cultures and their tastes.

Emily’s recipes are easy to follow, well laid out and supported by simple advice and tips as to useful techniques and shortcuts. The recipes have all, without exception, been made, eaten and approved by her family … and many other thousands of gastronomic connoisseurs.

Emily is keen to point out that she is more than just an author, she is still very much an active cook. She runs cooking classes, entertains at dinner parties and even helps cater for, and advise on the organization of, large culinary events. She continues to travel and remains curious with creative intent.

Her cookbooks are an exquisite guide to producing great food, from simple snacks to revered traditional dishes representing many cultures.

The books present an almost unique opportunity for you to shine. Try a few recipes on your family and friends; they’ll be impressed by the delicious tastes, aromas, and new textures, all conjured by your culinary skills! With a little help from Emily of course.

Emily’s books are highly collectible; you will return to them time and time again; always discovering something new and everything delicious.
