After deciding the corporate life was not for her, Emily took an early childhood education course and kickstarted a whole new teaching adventure that culminated in her establishing the culinary studio, The Little Things. Along the way, she has cooked and baked with thousands of children, learning and discovering numerous recipes. Her mission is to help everyone get a taste of the wonders and joys of food through her classes.
