Emma is the self-proclaimed Queen of Leftovers, doesn’t believe in food shaming, and is happiest sitting on a plastic stool or hanging out in a hipster café somewhere in China.
 

Through her cookbooks, her column for Het Parool, and her social content, she showcases the incredible diversity of Asian food, while sharing the stories, people and cultures behind the dishes.
 

Her latest cookbook, Solo, is all about cooking for one, because she’s forever single and loving it. Together with Lizzy van Hees, she hosts the podcast Steeds meer Singles, where they explore just how single-friendly the world really is and help you feel just as solo and thriving as Emma.
 

• Four Amazing Asia cookbooks, including Tofu, which won the Silver Cookbook Award in 2022.

• TV: In 2022, Emma presented Temple Food for KRO-NCRV, a programme exploring Buddhist food culture in Korea, alongside Alain Caron.
