Chef Emme loves to share her delicious Afro-Brazilian foods in celebration of the rich blend of cultures and food origins represented by the African Diaspora, the indigenous people of Brazil and the Portuguese colonizers. Emme graduated from the Seattle Culinary Academy as an "Outstanding Culinarian.” She won the title of Food Network's Chopped Champion; competed against Iron Chef America Alex Guarnaschelli on her hit show Alex vs. America; has appeared on a variety of television shows; and has been featured in numerous culinary publications.
